The IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Student Branch Affinity Group of the University of Vavuniya successfully organized LadyProto 2.0 \u2013 Design Hackathon<\/strong>, a month-long virtual competition held from 26th April to 27th May 2026<\/strong>. The event aimed to empower female undergraduates by enhancing their creativity, collaboration, and UI\/UX design skills through real-world design challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants attended two awareness sessions covering design thinking, Figma, UI\/UX principles, typography, color theory, and design systems before completing two design challenges. Their submissions included user personas, user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes, with leaderboards updated after each round to encourage continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition concluded by recognizing outstanding teams for their creativity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities. LadyProto 2.0 successfully provided participants with practical design experience while promoting collaboration, professional growth, and greater involvement of women in design, technology, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
