About this Project
This project aims to help those that are troubled with the
current state of immigration. Our website will help immigrants
or those who are advocating for immigrant’s rights by
providing them useful resources. These resources are things
such as finding lawyers, knowing their rights, going to or
setting up protest, and more.

What the Judges are Saying
I’m really impressed by the thoughtfulness and care you put into this project: the level of detail in your mock-up, the clear user flow, and the research behind your design all show your deep commitment to supporting immigrant communities. I especially love that you included language options, which shows real empathy and an understanding of accessibility, which is something we prioritize every day in the tech industry. Your work is meaningful and shows the power of using technology for positive social impact. Keep building with this kind of purpose, you're absolutely on the right track!
I think that this type of app is sorely needed and when translated to different languages could be super useful to many immigrants coming into the US. The app is designed well and I think the donation part is key, especially for immigrants who might be looking for donations from the public to help them settle into normal life. Really good work here.
What stands out most to me about your project is its clarity of purpose—you've identified a complex, urgent issue and approached it with both compassion and practicality. I appreciate that your design goes beyond awareness and into tangible, actionable support. Tools like protest guides, legal aid connections, and know-your-rights resources can have an immediate impact—and your inclusion of all of these shows you’ve thought deeply about how people actually experience immigration systems, not just how we talk about them.
If you choose to take this project further, I’d love to see how the experience could evolve based on different user needs—say, someone just arriving versus someone advocating long-term. That kind of adaptive storytelling could make your tool even more empowering.
You're using tech to bridge real-world gaps. That’s rare—and needed. Keep going.
