Espaitec organises a hackathon of usability of digital products of companies in the Valencian Community on 10, 11 and 12 March. The hackathon, called UX Challenge, in virtual format due to the current health crisis, is an initiative developed under the European project H2020 200SMEChallenge, which also involves as partners the Hub Innovazione de Trentino (HIT) and Fondazione Bruno Kessler of Italy, Germany's Steinbeis-Europa Zentrum, Denmark's Dansk Design Centre, Lithuania's Lithuanian Innovation Center, Estonia's Tehnopol and Finland's Business Oulu, entities that will launch their own usability hackathons with small and medium-sized enterprises in their area of influence.

To carry out this experience in the Valencian territory, of the more than 30 organizations in the Valencian Community that applied for the initiative, the European consortium selected eight candidates. In this first edition of the UX Challenge that takes place in Espaitec, the selected candidates are Pixel Ingeniería, TheJOKFUN, Rumbo Directo, Waima Technologies, Bitcoinforme, Brainbond Ingeniería Informática, Resertours and FaytheConsulting.

The Hackaton involves students from the Universitat Jaume I and students of the training courses of the Caminás school in Castelló who will act as solvers forming multidisciplinary teams. During three intense days, the different teams of the UX CHallenge will apply a variant of Google's Design Sprint methodology to analyse the degree of friendliness of the selected applications and will propose improvements to the usability of the eight selected digital products, paying attention to the design and ease of interaction with these products that will be validated by real users (testers).

On the last day of the Hackathon, the results obtained by each of the teams will be presented to the participating companies, as well as a final presentation of all the teams in which the three best working dynamics will be awarded through a virtual voting process. All this process will be tutored by specialized mentors from SECOT Castellón who will help the teams to achieve the objective of the UX CHallenge.
