The program invites 10 main topics: Week 1: Idea 💡 Week 2: Toy-Version 🪀 Week 3: Feedback 📝 Week 4: Iterate + Feedback 👷♂️ Week 5: User + Growth 👤 Week 6: Demo Day + Final Presentation 🎁 We hold 1 lecture and 1 lab every week (we are still deciding on whether asynchronous or synchronous is best). Participants fill out a form elaborating on their progress for the week. At week 3/6 we pair the students with a mentor (if applicable and available) At 4/6 they graduate. tldr; We really just want to support students building what they love, and become successful doing that.
