Solving Societal Problems
AI can be applied to important issues like disease diagnosis, climate modeling, and poverty reduction.
Product Definition and First Deployment
Defining a product with the Lean Canvas and taking it online. Students map an idea across the nine boxes from a real customer problem, write a value proposition, and use an AI coding tool to build and publish a landing page.
AI can be applied to important issues like disease diagnosis, climate modeling, and poverty reduction.
Making AI tools and knowledge accessible to diverse communities can empower people and address global challenges.
Publishing a page live follows set steps: create an account, get a token (a secret key that proves who you are), add an editor extension (an add-on for the code editor), set up a project folder, build the page, then publish it. If a token is left inside code that gets saved into shared version history, the token is cancelled automatically.
Developing skills to determine when and how AI is an appropriate solution to a problem, and what resources are needed.
Recognizing problems where AI is inappropriate, ineffective, unethical, or harmful, and identifying better alternatives.
Install Codex (a coding helper) in VS Code (a code editor), use it to build the page, and publish it live with your own token (a secret key that proves who you are).
Turn a product idea into a completed canvas and a live landing page, in one evening. A completed nine-box business model canvas, plus a landing page published to a public web address.
Transfers to: Naming the customer’s actual problem before designing anything.
