Design and Pitch an LLM-Powered Tutoring Product. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verified cr...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Take an LLM-powered math-tutoring concept from JTBD to a working pitch with prototype, user-study evidence, and business case.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate a JTBD into a designed product flow
- Prototype an LLM-powered feature with realistic constraints
- Run a small user study with honest reporting
- Build a business case investors will actually read
