AI and the Future of Leadership: How Technology Is Transforming Learning and Development at Work
This project explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping how people learn, grow, and lead in the workplace and/or academia. Students will research how AI tools are being used for mentoring, leadership development, and employee/student learning — and consider both the opportunities and challenges they create. Through case studies and analysis, students will evaluate whether AI enhances or replaces human connection, and how leaders can use technology ethically to support growth. Has AI enhanced or replaced human mentorship? What skills will leaders need in an AI-driven world? By the end, students can potentially propose their own vision for how AI can empower, rather than replace or impede human growth.

From Idea to Impact: Launching a New Product
Students will learn the end-to-end process of bringing a new product to market — from identifying an unmet customer need to designing a go-to-market strategy. They’ll start by researching market trends and customer pain points, then develop a clear value proposition, positioning, and launch plan. Along the way, they’ll explore how data, consumer insights, and storytelling influence successful product launches across industries. Potential outcomes: A business plan, prototype, mock-up, and/or go-to-market pitch deck.

The Business Value of AI in Consumer Goods
Students will research how major consumer brands use AI to improve marketing, product innovation, or customer experience. They will analyze 2–3 case studies (e.g., General Mills, Nike, Unilever), identify measurable business outcomes, and propose a framework linking data investments to ROI. Students will learn research design, data storytelling, and how to translate technical insights into business recommendations. Potential outcomes: strategy brief, slide deck, or research paper with visuals and summarized findings.

Build an iOS app
In this project, you bring your app idea to life (no experience required)! If you don't have an idea already, we will come up with one together. App ideas could be anything: a digital recipe book for your grandma, a fancy to-do list to help you keep track of your school work, an app to save pictures of your favorite architecture or a fun messaging app for just you and your friends. This project will give you the confidence to approach any problem, no matter how little you know about it. You'll learn how modern mobile apps are built all the way from the design stage to getting it ready to publish on the App Store. You'll build your very own app and will gain skills in writing and reading code, the UI/UX design process, and how to approach problem solving when you don't know where to start.

Analyzing the effect of AI on interpreting labs/imaging in hospital settings
For folks interested in an innovation-focused project, we can study how new developments in AI within fields such as pathology and radiology have affected clinical decision-making, efficiency, the hiring/retention of physicians within related specialties, and developments on the horizon. Some potential outcomes include an abstract, paper, blog post, or dashboard.

Predicting hospital readmission rates among patients in Asia with multiple comorbidities
Using a publicly available dataset, we can examine factors that make patients more susceptible to hospital readmission and form predictions to inform physicians in their decision-making. Some potential outcomes include an abstract, paper, blog post, or dashboard.

Design a Research Study from Scratch — From Idea to Proposal
Have you ever wondered how researchers come up with the studies you read about? In this project, you’ll learn how to turn a question or observation into a full-fledged research proposal. We’ll start with brainstorming topics you care about—anything from mental health to social media to art and creativity—and narrow down to a focused research question. You’ll learn how to design a study that could actually be carried out: deciding what type of study it would be (survey, experiment, interview-based, etc.), how to recruit participants, and how to collect and analyze data. By the end, you’ll create a research proposal and mock IRB summary that could serve as the foundation for a real-world research project or science fair submission.

Community Health Awareness Campaign
The Community Health Awareness Campaign project will enhance understandings of preventive health measures related to chronic diseases, specifically focusing on diabetes and hypertension within the community. The project will be initiated with a comprehensive research phase, where surveys will be conducted to identify specific health concerns and assess current knowledge levels and misconceptions among community members. Subsequently, the project team will develop targeted educational materials, including brochures, posters, and digital content, as well as organize engaging workshops or webinars featuring healthcare professionals to disseminate vital information. To maximize outreach, the campaign will establish partnerships with local organizations and schools to host health fairs and seminars, alongside leveraging social media platforms to share testimonials and raise awareness. Finally, an evaluation phase will be implemented to assess the campaign's impact, utilizing follow-up surveys and participant feedback to measure knowledge improvement and overall effectiveness of the initiative.
