Weeks 1-2 (June 9-15)
Read this entire page before beginning - it's your roadmap to success
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a Sequential Journey
Each phase builds on the previous one. Skipping ahead is like trying to run before you can walk - it won't work. Trust the process, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
All progress needs to be documented in a copy of this Canva Portfolio template
01 | Problem Hunter Mode (Weeks 1-2) You MUST complete this first. Without problems to solve, you have nothing to design. This phase gives you a bank of real issues to choose from. |
02 | Research Ninja Training (Weeks 3-4) Only start after completing Phase 1. You'll research the problems you found. Can't research what you haven't identified! |
03 | CAD Bootcamp (Weeks 5-6) Only start after completing Phase 2. You'll learn to communicate your researched ideas visually. These skills prepare you for the final phase. |
04 | Launch Pad Ready (Weeks 7-8) Only start after completing Phase 3. You'll select and refine your best idea using all the skills you've built. This is your culmination. |
