Choose a small project you can test and sell

Choose a suggested idea or create your own. You may build a digital product, a physical product, or a service.

THE TWO-HOUR PROTOTYPE RULE

Build a rough first version in two hours.

It can be a drawing, sample, mockup, service advertisement, landing page, WhatsApp catalog, or short demo. It only needs to be clear enough to show a possible customer.

A good bootcamp project

Solve a clear problem for a person you can reach.

Can be prototyped in two hours.

Can be tested with a customer this week.

Can be sold and delivered before Demo Day.

Can start with free tools and little or no money.

Two ways to find an idea

Choose an idea from the instructors, or bring a problem you have noticed yourself. Both are welcome.

Option 1

Use the project idea bank

Choose a suggested problem that you understand and want to solve.

Explore the Idea Bank

Option 2

Bring your own idea

Start with a real problem you see at school, at home, online, or in your community.

Change an idea when evidence is weak

Change or stop an idea when customers do not have the problem, do not want the solution, or cannot be reached.

Do not stop only because it is difficult

A difficult task may need a smaller solution, a different tool, or help from an instructor or classmate.

Your final project must show 🏁

A real customer problem.
A product or service you created.
Feedback from possible customers.
How AI helped you move from idea to market faster.
