Campamento de entrenamiento para jóvenes innovadores: Fundamentos de la gestión de productos (curso de 4 semanas)

Nowadays, there is an app for everything. But who decides what app gets built? How do they make sure the apps are successful?

The answer is PRODUCT MANAGERS!

Like conductors of an orchestra who coordinates different musicians to create beautiful music, Product Managers work with different experts (coders, designers, marketers, legal etc)  to build product like a smartphone, a website, or a new toy."

Note: 
1) We will not be learning to code or how to use code to build actual apps
2) Although the class leverages activities and discussions for learning,  I can accommodate learners who don't feel ready/comfortable talking or sharing with the group. For such students, I will encourage offline interactions (e.g. using zoom chat during class,  discussions/questions via Outschool Conversations, submitting responses to activities after class via Outschool Conversations).
