The Problem Statement

In Fall 2023, the Women in Computer Science (WiCS) club experienced a decline in membership, signaling a missed opportunity to empower women in computer science.

The Solution

We created social media posts to advertise various WiCS activities.

My Role

I designed graphics included in all of the social media posts.
These are some of the examples:
SWE x WiCS x EcoCar Board Game Collaboration:
WiCS Post 1

Job Interview Prep Workshop:
WiCS Post 2

LinkedIn Workshop and Free Headshot Event:
WiCS Post 3

Impact

The posts that had engaging visuals received 60% more likes than posts that did not. We quickly gained followers on our Instagram, increasing new members.

Reflection

I learned that adding visuals can increase social media post engagement. I hope to continue to empower minority communities through design.
