Overview
What this challenge is about.
Prototype an Embedded Dashboard for an EV Charger. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verified c...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Prototype and outdoor-validate a 12-screen EV-charger UI across 3 user modes before firmware lock, in a form factor that survives gloves and weather.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design UI for non-standard form factors (7-inch outdoor touchscreen)
- Mode-switch UI based on user-type entry conditions
- Test embedded UI prototypes in real environmental conditions
- Hand off prototypes to a firmware (not web) build chain

Completing this challenge demonstrates skills that transfer directly to these roles:
Product Manager
Product managers who can validate UI in the real environment (cold, gloves, glare) before firmware lock prevent the most expensive class of hardware-product failure.
