What you'll build.

By the end of this course you'll ship a real MVP that addresses your chosen SDG. Not a quiz, not a certificate alone — a working thing real users can try.

  • Frame the problem

    From "I have an idea" to a sharp problem statement and user-set.

  • Test the riskiest assumption

    Identify and validate the one assumption that breaks your business if wrong.

  • Ship a working MVP

    Live with real users. Submit for peer review and mentor feedback.
