SUMMARY:Intro to User Experience (UX) Design
DESCRIPTION:Why learn about UX design? \nWith great design comes great responsibility. User experience (UX) design isn’t just about creating pretty or functioning websites – it’s about creative solutioning and trying to make people’s lives and experiences better. \nAs designers\, we need to remember that we aren’t designing products for ourselves\, but for other people. Being a UX designer allows you to work with and problem solve for a variety of different people\, and empathy plays a huge part in this. \nDuring this collaborative learning experience\, we’ll explore the difference between UI and UX\, and how they work together. We’ll walk through the design cycle; including discovery\, user testing\, and user personas. Learners will also have a chance to experience different UX methods through hands-on exercises\, including building physical and digital prototypes. \nPrerequisites:\nNone! This workshop is designed for beginners.

SUMMARY:Eh List & The Forge\, sponsored by CNA Insurance - Monthly Meetup (Dec 2019)
DESCRIPTION:Heya Founders! Join us for the Eh List & The Forge Monthly Meetup (sponsored by CNA insurance). This month we’ll be heading over to Boston Pizza for drinks and appetizers. \nHosted by @chrisbuttenham & @alexsopinka from Obie.ai and The Forge McMaster (sponsored by CNA Insurance) \nThe Eh List is peer network made entirely for Canadian founders by founders.

Introduce yourself and what you’re working on (please be concise). \n2. While you’re talking\, everyone else is listening (please save networking/connecting for the very end). \n3. Share your company’s current roadblocks and ask if anyone from the EhList network can help. \n4. If you’d like\, share what you can help other founders with! (i.e. pricing\, hiring your first employee\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Electronics Hamilton Meetup | Christmas Ornament Competition
DESCRIPTION:Hi all as discussed here’s the rules for the Ornament competition we’re running at my work and I thought it would be fun to do the same thing at the meetup too. Here’s the rules: \nThe Timeline \nAll ornaments and print out of BOM to be brought to the December Sunday 1st meetup (see meetup schedule). \nThe Judging \nThe judging is going to be done by each of us. Entries will be judged out of ten on technical complexity and design appeal by everyone on a secret ballot. Each ornament will be placed on a table when they arrive. They will then get a sticker with a number on it and then everyone will score them. The one with the most points at the end of the night wins. We’ll figure out how to place them on the table without people knowing once we get there.\n-5 bonus points for designs able to run off a 18650 L-ion battery constantly (day and night) for 2 weeks \nThe Rules/Specs \n-Max size 100x100mm\n-12VDC power 500mA is the maximum power budget and will be provided by a wall wart power adapter if you choose to go this way over battery.\n-BOM cost maximum is $20 (excluding PCB cost\, tax and battery).\n-Scrap/surplus parts maybe used but all count towards the BOM cost \n-If a part cannot be found on digikey then the price at a north american distributor may be used\n-No names are to be placed on the PCB – for blind judging \n-Ornament must have a hanging whole (to hang on tree) \n-The ornament must have at least 1 flashing/fading LED. \n-The ornaments entered will be photoed for meetup advertising on the meetup site. \n-Any other rules that come along I’ll send out as we go/think of them! \n-Of course you’re responsible for paying for your boards and your BOM. Although be smart and share shipping costs with others in the meetup. \nPrize \nThere’s no particular prize apart from pride or a beer unless everyone decides otherwise. \nWould anyone else like to join the Electronics Hamilton slack chat? We have 11 active users on the slack and post regularly about new electronics news. Email me if interested\, \nGO! Start building and any questions let me know!

SUMMARY:Sales & Marketing P2P: Market Research for E-Commerce Entrepreneurs with Senso Minds
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Factory’s Sales & Marketing Peer-to-Peer is scheduled on a monthly basis on the second Wednesday of the month. These sessions provide invaluable professional development and networking opportunities for clients and community members. The sessions are designed to be great opportunities for business professionals from all industries and companies to collaborate with each other\, share sales best practices\, and network with peers. \nAbout the Session: \nIn this session we will explore Market Research for E-commerce entrepreneurs\, including: \n– How to identify the right product to sell on Amazon and Shopify \n– Standing out from the competition \n– Launch strategies (digital marketing\, using keyword tools etc) \nAbout the Speaker: \nRyan Ticlo\, Founder of Senso Minds \nRyan is an Innovation Factory and Forge client and a succesful E-commerce entrepreneur in multiple niche markets. \nAbout Senso Minds: \nSenso Minds is creating a line of sensory products that will help children remain calm and focused in their overwhelming environments. Children with sensory needs are mislabelled. Their actions\, mannerisms and behaviours\, are misunderstood. But the truth is\, they are being forced to conform to a world that wasn’t designed for them. At Senso Minds we believe that it is time we design the world to fit the needs of these children\, rather than forcing them to fit into a world that wasn’t meant for them. \nhttps://sensominds.com
