The Design Project prepares designers to design with code and they are sharing their process this fall at the coveted CCA.
The Design Project Hackathon
Join us in person hackathon event at the California College of the Arts (CCA) on November 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM (Pacific Time) for a tangible workshop to learn how to "design with code".

Tools we'll use:
- Claude Code
