Impact Lab¶
Welcome to the Impact Lab. This is your Field Guide: everything you need for this lab is here.
How This Lab Works¶
You will work in small teams. The day follows a repeating rhythm:
- Lesson: this Field Guide teaches you concepts, walks you through examples, and has you work through exercises with your team.
- Hands-on Challenge Sprint: your team takes what you just learned and builds something real with AI. This is where you get your hands dirty.
- Reflection: within your team, reflect on what happened, what surprised you, and what this means for organizations adopting AI tooling and practices.
At the end of the lab, every team presents what they built in a Showcase.
