CreateSC is USC's premier UI/UX design-a-thon, where teams of 1–4 students come together to design digital solutions to real-world challenges – brought to you by Innovative Design @ USC.

This year, we are inviting students to Design Against Efficiency, and explore what we can create when we craft experiences that are worth exploring and returning to.

Join us on April 11th at 11 AM PST for an action-packed two days of speaker events, professional development workshops, and 24 hours of hands-on design competition!
