​4 Weeks to Demo — Week 1: Defining the Problem

​Friday, March 6 | 4:30–6:00 PM
Location: 1403 University (main level)

​Have an idea you’re exploring but not sure how to clearly define the problem?

​This session kicks off our 4 Weeks to Demo Sprint. We’ll focus on sharpening your thinking so you can move from a vague concept or emerging tech interest to a clear, compelling use case for the next four weeks.

​This session is open to:

• ​Digital Health Challenge participants

• ​Self-Directed Innovation students

• ​Venture Discovery teams

• ​Founder Lab students

• ​Anyone working on their own idea

​All are welcome.

​What We’ll Do

• ​Workshop how to define a real problem

• ​Clarify who your user is (and why they care)

• ​Identify assumptions worth testing

• ​Introduce simple frameworks you can use to shape your use case

​You’ll leave with:

• ​A clearer problem statement

• ​A defined user/context

• ​A starting point for your 4-week sprint

​No polished idea required. Just bring what you’re thinking about.
