What if you could go from an idea to a working AI product in a single day?
That was the challenge at our AI Hackathon, where our Full-time MBA and Executive MBA students each had the opportunity to build, test and experiment with AI.
We began with a hands-on workshop exploring the key stages of AI product development: understanding requirements, designing a solution, collaborating with clients, building and testing a prototype, and presenting it effectively. Along the way, students got to grips with the AI tools that can accelerate the product-development process.
Then it was time to build. Working in teams, our MBA students selected real-world challenges and turned their ideas into working mini-products from scratch. By the end of the day, every team presented its prototype and received feedback.
It was brilliant to see students arrive ready to create, push themselves beyond their expectations, and leave with something tangible.
A huge thank you to Lappas, our AI expert and session lead, for guiding the day, and to our fantastic FTMBA and EMBA cohorts for bringing such energy, creativity and determination.
