Spring 2024 - Agree with the other review that they don't teach technical skills, which was a bit of a disappointment for me. However I LOVED every other aspect of this class - if you are looking to gain experience in product development and business/startup skills take this class!!! It is kind of time consuming but I felt that it was worth it. They assigned teams, topics and coaches at the start and you work together to build your product up to demo day for the rest of the quarter. There are also a lot of guest speakers that you can definitely add to your network. I had an amazing group and a great coach, and this was a 10/10 experience.
