Working directly with the supervisor, they'll help define how the competition works, what tools power it, and how students are evaluated — not only on the pitch itself, but on the product they create and the process they follow to get there. They will also support the AI Integration Studio, an MBA course on applied AI, helping shape the curriculum, run activities in class, and build the tutorials and demo materials students rely on.
This is a build-it-together role:
much of what the program becomes is still to be shaped, and shaping it is the point. If you're curious about the intersection of entrepreneurship, education, and applied AI — and you want hands-on experience designing a program and a course from a blank page — this is a great launchpad. Throughout their employment, student employees will maintain and manifest positive actions that align with and support the Code of Conduct for the School of Business.
