📋 Capstone Project · Phase 1 of 5
Mission Brief & Product Design Canvas

SDG 2 — Zero Hunger
Step 2 — Mission Briefing (complete for your chosen mission)
🤖 Kai — Capstone Mentor Note
Every great AI product starts with a real human problem — not a technology in search of a use case. Read your mission briefing carefully before designing anything. The Ethics Review Board will ask whether your design decisions were shaped by the community's actual needs, or by what was technically convenient to build.
