"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. :)
