April 10, 2026

WELCOME TO RIPPLE 2026!!
what is RIPPLE?
TAKE A LOOK -->

This April, Wellesley in Product (WIP) and MIT's Design for America (DFA) are hosting our flagship event, Designathon! Every year our Designathon brings in participants from across the country to engage in a uniquely design-focused competition. Participants work in teams to brainstorm, prototype and present innovative product solutions to real-world challenges in a fast-paced environment.

do i need to know how to code?
Nope! RIPPLE is an inclusive event where background in design and/or coding is not required! This event offers a unique opportunity to showcase your skills, strengthen your portfolio, and learn from experienced tech professionals in a low-stake setting.
We also offer two alternate competition pathways. Take a look at our infographic! -->
