Individuals and firms interact with government by way of forms. They serve as portals to applying for benefits, securing permits, paying tickets, etc. A form that is difficult to use can cause annoyance, waste time, and prompt errors, which undermine the quality of customer service; it can also, importantly, prevent a user from completing the form at all, which could deprive them of the benefit or service.

At the event, you’ll choose one form to work on with a small group of fellow residents. Your goal? To produce a rough prototype of a new and improved version of your form so that it's easier to use when applying for services! To help guide you, you’ll hear from the government agency who owns the form, as well as experts in user-centered design, plain language, and behavioral insights.
