AI FIRST INNOVATION STUDIO

Your ideas. In control.

BUILD TEST IMPROVE PRESENT

Innovation Studio is in development, targeting Spring 2027. The planned experience would help students work as product teams, connecting a design challenge, introductory modules and maker labs with instructor and mentor guidance, supported by AI Advisors.

In development · Targeting Spring 2027

The next chapter of hands-on learning.

Innovation Studio is planned to evolve the HBI STEAM Academy’s hands-on curriculum into a connected product-team experience, powered by HBI Digital Experience Platform.

One design challenge connects the work.

Students would begin with a design challenge and work as product teams. Introductory 101 modules would build foundations, followed by maker labs where teams apply each lesson.

The planned journey progresses from requirements and user stories to annotated UI/UX mockups, systems design, functional web prototypes and capstone presentations.

Guidance from people who know the learner.

Instructors and mentors would remain central: guiding inquiry, reviewing artifacts and helping teams improve. Planned AI Advisors would support questions, drafts and reflection while people retain teaching and review responsibilities.

Schools, nonprofits and workforce-development partners can explore how the planned experience might fit their learners and programs.

A CLOSER LOOK / APPLICATION DESIGN

Ideas grow together.

Students compare a sensor reading with a map, question what it means, and shape the next version of their application with a mentor.

DESIGN / MAC WORKSTATIONS

Imagine it.
Then make it work.

Start with a real need. Use AI guidance and visual building tools to turn a storyboard into a functional web application—without needing a product development background.

CONNECT / DRONE SURVEY

A view beyond
the screen.

Explore a crop-survey concept: the application plans a route, receives sample observations and helps the team make sense of the results.

TEST / SMART AGRICULTURE

Small signals.
Meaningful change.

Connect a soil-monitoring interface to a rover concept. Test an irrigation response, review access controls and explain what the simulation does—and does not—prove.

THE AUTOMATION STUDIO

Give ideas
the ability to act.

Build AI agents and chatbots that connect conversation to useful action. Start with a question, ground the answer in trusted information, then design tools, permissions and human checkpoints.

THE AI FIRST PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LOOP

AI assists.
You decide.

One guided process for cohort prototypes, MVP development and capstone projects. Students own the decisions. Mentors help them verify the work.

Frame

Start with a problem worth solving.

Identify who needs help, what gets in their way, and what a useful result would look like.
