in two weeks.

Students with no design background learned to research users, build wireframes, and present polished Figma prototypes. Most had never heard of UI/UX before they walked in.

Built complete app wireframes in Figma
Conducted real user research interviews
Presented final designs to a live audience

"It was truly a wonderful experience. Watching your child do something that even adults find challenging is an amazing feeling. We would love Maekido to conduct more programs like this throughout the year, not just during the summer."

Learned systems thinking and game mechanics

What They're Saying

Don't just take
our word for it.

Students, parents, and teachers share what Maekido programs meant to them — in their own words.

★★★★★

"Watching the children present themselves like lawyers was fascinating. They had researched thoroughly, referred to past cases during their arguments, and presented with so much confidence. It was fantastic. I would love to see follow-up programs like this — we'd definitely want our children to be part of them."
