UK Institutions take part in global College and AirBnB Creative Jam

The Adobe Creative Jam team brought students from across the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom together for an Adobe XD* focused online event.

The Jam generated a lot of interest and a massive number of registrations worldwide. Globally, there were 1,690 registrants, and teams from 30 UK education institutions participated. Over the course of a weekend, 2 to 3 person teams collaborated on an app prototype and produced a full user experience.

Despite the challenging times the students submitted 28 projects which show great promise. There are links below to the UK projects:
