Practice Projects
Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.
Data Storytelling Dashboard
BeginnerUsing a public dataset (e.g., from Kaggle), create an interactive Tableau or Power BI dashboard that tells a clear story. Write accompanying narrative notes explaining the key insights for a non-technical manager.
AI Ethics Case Study Workbook
IntermediateCompile a workbook of 5 real-world AI ethics dilemmas (e.g., biased hiring tools, deepfakes, predictive policing). For each, write a background briefing, discussion questions, and a framework for ethical decision-making.
Interactive LLM Demo for Business Users
IntermediateBuild a simple web app using Streamlit or Gradio that wraps an OpenAI API call to help users draft professional emails or summarize reports. Include clear instructions and sample inputs/outputs to teach prompt crafting.
'Train the Trainer' Pilot Program
AdvancedDesign and deliver a condensed training session to a group of 3-5 peers on a specific AI literacy topic. Gather feedback, iterate on the materials, and create a facilitator's guide based on the experience.
