Hackathon 13

The goal was to explore how user experience engineering can make learning new technologies easier and more accessible through self-guided, progressive learning experiences.

What was done

Three teams developed different learning experiences:

• Team 1: A CLI-based tutorial for learning SLURM
• Team 2: A gamified 2D platformer for learning virtual machine provisioning.
• Team 3: A troubleshooting challenge highlighting the importance of clear and accurate documentation.

What was learnt

We learnt that effective user experiences go beyond good documentation, requiring clear guidance, hands-on interaction and progressive challenges to help users build confidence when learning new technologies.
