Preparation before meeting your partner · Due
Sprint 2 pairs you with a classmate. You'll help solve their problem — and they'll help you understand yours from a new perspective.
The hardest part isn't building. It's truly understanding the problem from another person's point of view.
Before you know who your partner is, prepare yourself. This AI-guided activity helps you reflect on your problem-solving skills and draft questions for your first "customer conversation."
You'll answer each question, get AI-generated follow-up questions to help you dig deeper, then refine your thinking.
