## TECH ENTREPRENEUR LEADERSHIP

**In Tech Entrepreneur Leadership Lab (AI Light),** students step into the **roles of innovators, engineers, and startup leaders.** This inspiring, hands-on camp teaches students how real products are created, from identifying meaningful problems to building working prototypes and pitching ideas with confidence.

Campers work in teams to explore real-world challenges, practice leadership and collaboration, and apply design thinking principles to develop technology-powered solutions. Using tools such as Arduino, micro:bit, Lilypad, sensors, and basic AI-inspired logic, students design products that are not only functional but thoughtful and impactful.

### Solution Topic

In this camp, students explore investigative questions by **designing real technology solutions** and discovering how AI Light supports smarter products.

**Students will inquire:**
- How do entrepreneurs identify problems worth solving?
- How can technology create smarter solutions?
- How do teams improve ideas through testing?

_**Students explore innovation at the intersection of leadership, design, and intelligent technology.**_

### Design, Experiment, Build

Students work through a guided innovation cycle.

**Campers will:**
- Select a real-world problem
- Define users and success criteria
- Brainstorm solutions
- Choose technologies
- Build and test prototypes
- Experiment with AI Light behaviours
- Refine based on feedback
- Pitch their product

### AI Light in This Camp

Students explore how modern products use data, sensors, and logic to make smart decisions. AI Light is introduced through sensor-driven behaviour and intelligent product features, helping students understand how AI enhances real-world products.

## Camp Learning Journey

#### **Day 1: Entrepreneur Mindset & Leadership Foundations: From Problems to Possibilities**
Students are introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset and what it means to be a leader in technology and innovation. Campers explore real-world problems, practice empathy for users, and learn how leaders identify opportunities.

#### Day 2: Product Strategy & Engineering Exploration - Choosing the Right Tools
Students explore how entrepreneurs select the right technology for their product. Campers experiment with Arduino, micro:bit, Lilypad, sensors, and basic circuits, evaluating which tools best solve their chosen problem.

#### **Day 3: Prototyping & Technical Leadership**
Building and Iterating Teams move into active development, building and coding working prototypes.

#### **Day 4: Smart Products & AI Light**
Innovation Through Intelligence: Students enhance their prototypes with AI Light concepts.

#### Day 5: Product Pitch, Leadership Communication & Innovation Showcase
Students shift from builders to founders and presenters. Campers learn how to communicate their vision and pitch with confidence.
