Conduct user interviews and gather insights to understand real-world challenges.
Define problem statements using empathy maps and journey maps.
Ideate multiple solution concepts through brainstorming and sketching.
Develop AI-powered prototypes using no-code platforms such as Bubble, Thunkable, or Microsoft Power Apps.
Validate prototypes by testing with target users and iterating based on feedback.
Document the design process and prepare a final project report.
Present the solution to a panel of mentors and peers during a virtual demo day.
Collaborate with fellow interns in cross-functional teams to foster peer learning.
Maintain a personal learning journal to reflect on design thinking and AI concepts.
Complete all mandatory assessments and quizzes on the SkillsBuild portal.
