Answer big picture questions about what matters most to you. Use those answers to figure out what kind of problem means the most to you.
Investigate specific problems quantitatively. Figure out which ones are most worth tackling.
Resolve uncertainties about your long-term plans, get clarity into your strengths and weaknesses, and overcome what’s holding you back.
Now you can generate ideas that are solving a problem you deeply care about and is a good fit for you.
Sprint to see how far you can get to validate your idea. Develop a proof of concept, conduct a literature review, or produce a plan to address the biggest risks and uncertainties.
Use the final sprint week to put the finishing touches on. At the end of the week, you’ll present your project to the rest of the fellowship at Demo Day.
