Throughout the virtual weeks, students will get the opportunity to engage in project based learning. They will collaborate with our field partners and consult on a project related to social impact.
Once the program begins, successive learning modules such as Human Centered Design, Cultural Awareness and Artificial Intelligence allow students to develop desirable, feasible, and viable solutions and recommendations to the project.
By the end of the program, students present their final deliverables to their clients. They will also share reflections on their virtual experience and how they plan to apply the skills they have developed in their future academic and professional lives.
The 1 week optional travel component (post program) is meant to open up the student’s perspectives and outlook on life while giving them the opportunity to meet their virtual summer cohort peers and to engage in a meaningful cultural immersion experience.
