USABIL-A-THON

Congratulations to each participant that competed in Usabil-a-thon DC 2015. Each team created an extremely impressive product that provided critical information for their stake holder. The teams were able to evaluate their interfaces through heuristic evaluations, user testing, and developing prototypes. They then provided recommendations to their stake holder.

Thank you to all of the sponsors and volunteered who supported Usabilathon DC 2015.
