What people are saying

        In just a few weekends, this bootcamp sharpened my innovation skills. The course leaders were very knowledgeable, and I also got a lot from collaborating with my fellow students. I suggested that my colleagues, and anyone leading innovation in their organization should take this course!

        The Bootcamp was an amazing experience to learn and create with others. The curriculum covered a range of great topics and it was non-technical so I could start creating right away. I still talk about what I learned and I have the things we made in class on my phone to show others as well.

        I signed up for the Bootcamp hoping to get a better handle on emerging tech, and what it means for my life and my work. I got all that as well as an AI written post for my blog, which was a blast to do.  I gained more confidence navigating the tech world and using tech in my personal and professional life.
