Challenge Summary

Welcome to the NNS (NoNameSite.com) About Us Page Storyboard contest. NNS is the product of DARPA CS-STEM project, an internet platform for helping middle school and high school students (13-18 year old demographic) develop an interest in the S.T.E.M. fields. The platform features contests, activities, prizes and web-based entertainment shows designed to get students engaged.

The current NNS About us page (https://www.nonamesite.com/web/cs-stem/about) is not so good in terms of design. At the end of this contest, we are looking for a brand new redesign of this page.

Primary Goal & Design Considerations

The goal of this contest is to design the About Us page of NNS with the features outlined below.

Requirements

  1. About Us page
    -Design the NNS About Us pages with the following feature:

    • Content
      - use the existing content from this page
      - DO NOT include existing image graphic

    • Secondary Navigation
      - add a secondary navigation within this page
      - the first navigation of this page is about getting prizes
      - keep in mind in designing the secondary navigation that we'd like to be able to add more tabs as needed, show 3 tabs or more to showcase this feature

  2. Getting Prizes page
    - this will be a sub pages or the page that comes from the secondary navigation
    - this page is about getting prizes, use dummy content for now

Please note that you are only designing the content area leaving the header and footer of the existing page as it is, you can make a screenshot and place your design inside that page. The width of the page is fix but the height can be extended to accommodate your design.
