Project-Based Learning #1: Build
Choose your individual project and build a rough prototype in two hours.
Why this matters
AI makes it faster and cheaper to try an idea. Build a small version now, then learn what should change.
What you will learn
- Choose a small and testable project.
- Take ownership of one project from idea to sale.
- Use AI to move from idea to prototype quickly.
- Explain your prototype in one minute.
What happens in class
- 1Pitch problems using one simple sentence.
- 2Choose an idea from the idea bank or create your own.
- 3Choose the smallest version you can test today.
- 4Build a rough prototype before class ends.
CHEAT CODE
Pitch your idea in one sentence ✨
[Customer] struggles with [problem]. We could quickly test [solution].
EXAMPLE
Local food sellers struggle to produce high-quality photos of their products. We could quickly test a simple AI-enhanced photo editing tool.
Before the next meeting
Show the prototype to at least five possible customers. Ask questions and write down what they say.
