What are Design Jams?
Design Jams are one-or-two-day design sessions, during which people team up to tackle engaging User Experience (UX) challenges.
Similar to developer ‘hackdays’ they aim to get designers together to learn and collaborate with each other while working on actual problems. The sessions champion open-source thinking & sharing and are non-profit, run by local volunteers.
To facilitate the free exchange of ideas - all outputs, visualizations and other contributions made during Design Jams - must be contributed under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license. This basically means anyone can use ideas generated at the Design Jam, as long as they credit the original authors.
