Entrevamp at the HCC Codefest

In April, Madhavan Vinod led an exciting app development workshop at Houston Community College, co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. Al Green's office, preparing students for the Congressional App Challenge.

Back in April, things were buzzing at Houston Community College! Entrevamp delivered a fantastic app development workshop that brought together dozens of students for an all-in-one crash course in app design and entrepreneurship. This wasn't just any coding class—it was a comprehensive learning experience that combined technical skills with entrepreneurial thinking.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Co-sponsored by the office of U.S. Rep. Al Green (D-TX)
  • Comprehensive coverage of UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) design
  • Deep dive into the design thinking process: empathize, define, ideate
  • Icon design principles focusing on mission, brand, color, and simplicity
  • Real-world app examples to illustrate key concepts

The workshop used well-known apps as teaching examples, helping students understand how to identify an app's purpose and communicate mission through thoughtful design. Students learned how icons, colors, and simplicity work together to create compelling user experiences.

The best part? Students immediately applied what they learned by forming teams to tackle real-world problems. They brainstormed solutions, outlined functionality, imagined UI/UX experiences, and presented complete app design concepts as if they were entrepreneurs ready to launch their products.

This hands-on experience sparked genuine passion for both app development and entrepreneurship, perfectly preparing students for the upcoming Congressional App Challenge. The workshop demonstrated how technical skills and entrepreneurial thinking combine to create meaningful innovations that can solve real community problems.
