01 ⁄⁄ The challenge
Build EAiSER for your campus.
Students see problems every day. They rarely know who to tell.
How would you design EAiSER to solve a real problem on your campus, and how would you get your classmates to use it? You get the engine that reads a photo and writes the report. Everything around it is yours to invent.
02 ⁄⁄ Meet EAiSER
EAiSER
The EAiSER Way to Report
EAiSER is our civic app, live on iPhone and Android. Snap a photo of a problem, and Ai writes the report and routes it to the right place.
Try it first. We give you test photos at our table.
03 ⁄⁄ How to go about it
Six stages, all open. Split them up.
Start anywhere and come back any time. Bring it together for the pitch.
- 01
Discover
Find the problems that matter on your campus and the students they affect. Ask them with surveys.
- 02
Design
Who reports, what gets reported, and where each report goes: facilities, housing, parking or the city.
- 03
Prototype
Build working prototypes on the EAiSER backbone, with code or with AI. Make as many as you like.
- 04
Feedback
Put a prototype in people's hands. They mark up what they see and it comes straight back to you.
- 05
Promote
The campaign that gets classmates to download it and use it: the plan, posts and posters.
- 06
Pitch
Five minutes, a live demo and the reasons behind your choices.
Five steps to your seat.
