In-School Boot Camp · Design & Technology

Your child designs
their first real app.

Students with zero design experience learn to think like designers — researching real users, sketching wireframes, and building interactive prototypes in Figma. By the end, they present a working app design to a live audience.

The Journey

What your child
actually does.

Five stages, every session hands-on. Tap a stage to explore.

1
Think like a designer
What makes an app easy — or infuriating — to use? Students deconstruct products they use every day.
2
Research real users
Empathy interviews with classmates and family — learning to design for users.
3
Sketch & wireframe
Ideas move from head to paper — screens, flows, and layouts take shape.
4
Build in Figma
Wireframes become clickable and interactive prototypes in the industry-standard tool.
5
Present & showcase
Students demo their app to live audience and peers — like a real product launch.
For Parents

How this helps
your child.

Creator, not just consumer
Your child spends hours a day inside apps. This program flips the relationship — they learn how those products are made, and start making their own.
A real portfolio piece
They leave with a finished, clickable app prototype — something concrete to show, not just a certificate.
Empathy as a skill
User research teaches them to genuinely listen, ask good questions, and understand other people’s needs — a life skill disguised as design.
A head start on real careers
UI/UX and product design are among the fastest-growing careers in India. At 13, your child will have already shipped a design.
Structured creative thinking
Design isn’t drawing — it’s decisions. They learn to define problems, weigh trade-offs, and defend choices.
Confidence on stage
The final showcase means presenting their own work to a real audience — and owning it.

“

I realised that UI/UX isn’t just about apps — it’s about understanding people and creating with compassion. It really expanded my horizons. What surprised me most was seeing how these principles can be applied in everyday life.

— Advaitananda Reddy Surapureddy, Grade 12 · NASR Boys School · UI/UX Design

“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.”

— Lavanya Matta, Parent of Jason · Grade 9, Phoenix Greens
