Build What's Next
Why Build What's Next?
In Build What's Next, students put everything together. They pick a real problem, learn how AI and social entrepreneurship actually work, design an AI-powered solution, build a simple prototype, and pitch it — Shark-Tank style — to the group. It's the fullest expression of Know–Care–Act: knowledge and conviction turned into something they made. No coding or AI experience required.
What students learn
- How AI works — and where it helps, where it fails, and where it raises ethical questions
- The basics of social entrepreneurship: finding a real problem, designing for real users
- How to go from idea to prototype using accessible AI tools ("vibe coding")
- How to build and deliver a compelling pitch and pitch deck
- How to give and take feedback, iterate, and defend design choices
Topics are representative; final topics are announced closer to summer. Explore the full day-by-day schedule →
Your Pitch
Find a problem you care about. Design an AI-powered solution to it — an app, a tool, a service. Build a simple prototype and a pitch deck that explains the problem, your solution, who it helps, and why it works. Then pitch it to the room in 5 minutes and take questions like a real founder.
