Our culture

At Cal Poly Iter8, we’re creating a hands-on collaborative experience to give future UX Designers at Cal Poly a taste of a career in Product Design. Our teams work collaboratively to tackle real-world problems, employ the Design Thinking Process to methodically discover solutions, and use industry tools to create beautiful prototypes that supplement a career-ready portfolio.

Our mission
