MS&E 297: Hacking for Defense (H4D) hacking4defense.stanford.edu
The class will be on Tuesdays from 4:30 - 7:20 Brown Bag Lunches February 21st: 12:00 - 1:00pm, Thornton 110 February 23rd: 12:10 - 1:10pm, GSB Room M109 Join the Hacking for Defense teaching team THIS WEEK to learn more about developing technology solutions to solve real national security problems using Lean Startup principles and methodology. This course provides hands-on learning on what it’s like to tackle real world problems that need a technical solution, now. The problems have real military and other government agency sponsors and they need teams of students to help them find technical solutions to their critical challenges. The class teaches you the methodology from Lean Launchpad to develop technology that can provide those solutions. This class combines theory with a ton of hands-on practice to give you a framework to test the business model of a startup while creating all of the pressures and demands of the real world in an early stage start up. It will also give you experience working with various government agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD), Veterans Administration, and National Security Agency (NSA). An ideal student team is diverse. It is comprised of multiple disciplines e.g. engineers, scientists, business school and policy students. Your team will work with a team of problem sponsors, military liaisons, and industry mentors as you encounter the complexity of what it takes to actually deploy a solution and experience the chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works. You will learn to use the Mission Model Canvas and each block will be a new adventure outside the classroom as you test each part of your mission/business model!
