Expected outcomes and deliverables
  • Deliverables will vary depending on the project scope. At the conclusion of the project you will have assets that can be used to further your business goals. 


  • Given the short, remote nature of BUILD we require a remote project-based experience. If your project looks like a job posting, we can not accept it. Please provide a concrete scope for the learner’s work and limit their work to a specific project.


  • We have pinned an example project template to this experience which you can use as a starting point. If you choose to use a template from our library, ensure that you have added as much context for your business needs as possible.


  • Note: If participants are completing confidential work they can still submit work on the platform by uploading redacted samples, using the worklog feature, and writing a brief project reflection. In this case, we might also recommend that you have the participants sign an NDA before starting your project. You can use the Agreements feature to do this.
Learners must sign the following agreements to unlock projects to join
