First Assignment
Yes, already, but its short and hopefully interesting. If you have an idea that you would like to pursue in the course, be prepared to make a short “pitch” to recruit other students in class on Thursday August 29th and/or Tuesday September 3rd. Your pitch should be short – about 2-3 minutes, laying out as best you can 1) who your user is, 2) what their pressing need is, 3) why this is an opportunity and 4) any partners or users you already have lined up. You can use this Google spreadsheet to coordinate the group formation process.
