Build Your First AI Mini-Project
A week-by-week checklist for students in AI Literacy — from idea to demo day.
Squirrels Editorial · April 2025
Week 5 roadmap
- Interview one user — sibling, classmate, or club member
- Write a one-sentence problem
- Sketch screens on paper
- Build the smallest working version
- Test with two people and take notes
Keep scope tiny
A quiz helper beats a "whole school platform." Finish something real.
Document limits
Write what your tool cannot do yet. Honesty builds trust.
Demo day prep
Problem → demo → learning. Three minutes. You've got this.
