In this interactive and empowering workshop, we joined forces with the inspiring organization "Girls for a Change" to facilitate a dynamic wireframing exercise. The session aimed to unleash the creativity and problem-solving skills of each participating girl, giving them the opportunity to select their preferred scenario and craft a low-fidelity prototype or wireframe.

To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the process, we guided the girls through essential key terms and demonstrated how they interconnect, empowering them to make informed design decisions. With supportive guidance, the participants explored the art of wireframing, grasping the importance of user experience and efficient layout.
