I'm building a program for aspiring product managers in Canada, based at the UBC Vancouver campus.

Students will assemble teams to work on software companies' products as if they were associate product managers. Over two weeks, they will identify the user's key problem, brainstorm solutions, design a prototype, then pitch it in front of industry product managers who will serve as judges.

My team of 10 students from UBC Product Management Club is currently in the process of finding case sponsors, mentors, and judges, plus planning the curriculum for the program. We're hoping it will change the way product teams at software companies connect with students in Vancouver and beyond.
