About the course

What you’ll learn

A practical method for building things people actually want. Interview users without leading them, turn what you learn into a sharp problem statement, generate and choose ideas, prototype cheaply on paper or in Figma, and run usability tests that reveal what to fix. Useful for projects, hackathons, product roles and any interview that asks how you'd improve an app. Pass every lesson quiz and the final exam to earn a verifiable certificate.
