Course Overview

This one-day course introduces participants to practical AI and innovation thinking through a structured hackathon format. It begins with shared context and plain-English explanations of AI, then guides teams to identify opportunities, frame a challenge, generate ideas, select the strongest concept, and refine it into a viable proposal.


By the end of the day, participants will have a clearer understanding of where AI can add value, a defined challenge to solve, and a shortlist-ready concept with a draft pitch. The programme concludes with team presentations and next-step recommendations for ideas worth further exploration.
