There will be 3 rounds of user sessions during the following weeks; you
can participate in one or all three:
· May 2nd-6th
· May 16th-20th
· May 30th-June 3rd
THE ASK:
· Each participant will meet 1:1 for a user session
· Participants who complete a session will receive a $25 gift card; you
will have an option btw Grubhub or Target
· Participants will need to have a computer accessible for them to
participate in the user session as well as internet access and dedicated
time for the session
· Sessions will be between 25-45 minutes
NEXT STEP:
