"Build sth nobody wants" workshop

​MAKE THINGS THAT NO ONE WANTS :)

​A workshop with Glenn Fajardo, who teaches creativity and AI at Stanford's d.school, and Alice Chen, who spent half of a decade in the animation & game industry before pivoting into startup growth.

​----

​Most people using AI to be more creative are getting more average.

​Good news: if you learn to bring out your own human creativity while working with AI, you can make things only you could come up with.

​Glenn will teach the same practical principles he teaches at Stanford, and you don't have to be a Stanford student to sit in.

​You'll start by making something useless. On purpose. :)
