End Product
Playground & Job Fair is a subevent of COMPFEST that aims to introduce its participants to various IT companies and IT careers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all activities for COMPFEST were converted online. As a result, it became the first playground and job fair tech exhibition in Indonesia being held online. This poses a challenge for my team to design a platform that serves the purpose of an event that is ideally held offline.
Our solution was an all-in-one website that will act as a job searching platform while introducing users of various IT companies. To encourage user exploration, we include gamification elements that rewards the users for getting to know IT companies introduced on the website. Our main goal is to design a website that could help users achieve their goals effectively.
Overview of the Design Thinking Process
My team implements the Design Thinking Process as the main methodology for our research. Design Thinking Process is a 5 stage iterative process for developing a user-centered product. However, due to the time constraints, my team is able to do only one iteration.
The process start with requirement gathering, where my team along with the dev team attends a meeting with the client. Our client for this project are the Playground division of COMPFEST, who were in charge of organising the event. The client are asked to fill a product requirement document beforehand.
