Job Description & Key Responsibilities
Edunet Foundation, a nationally recognised non‑profit education platform, partners with IBM SkillsBuild to deliver cutting‑edge learning experiences for students across India. With a mission to democratise technology education, Edunet has built a robust ecosystem of virtual classrooms, industry mentors, and certification pathways that empower learners from non‑technical backgrounds to acquire future‑ready skills. The organisation is a verified partner on the National Internship Portal and enjoys AICTE endorsement, ensuring that every internship it offers meets stringent quality standards.
The Design Thinking with Artificial Intelligence internship is a six‑week, fully remote program that blends human‑centred design methodology with practical AI implementation using no‑code/low‑code tools. Over the course of the internship, participants will engage in interactive live sessions, hands‑on workshops, and real‑world project work. The curriculum is structured to take a learner from understanding user needs, through ideation and prototyping, to building AI‑powered solutions that address tangible problems. By the end of the program, each intern will have delivered an individual AI‑driven prototype, earned a certificate of completion, and received a digital credential that can be showcased on professional profiles.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Attend and actively participate in weekly virtual master‑class sessions led by industry experts.
2. Conduct user research through surveys, interviews, or secondary data analysis to identify pain points.
3. Apply Design Thinking stages – empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test – to frame problem statements.
4. Leverage no‑code AI platforms (e.g., IBM Watson Studio, Google AutoML) to develop functional prototypes.
5. Document design decisions, data sources, and model performance in a project notebook.
6. Collaborate with peers in breakout rooms to brainstorm solutions and provide constructive feedback.
7. Prepare a concise project presentation covering problem, solution, AI workflow, and impact.
8. Submit the final project deliverables and receive mentorship feedback for improvement.
The technical stack is intentionally low‑code: Google Colab notebooks, IBM SkillsBuild AI labs, drag‑and‑drop model builders, and basic data visualisation tools. Soft‑skill development is equally emphasized, with focus on communication, storytelling, and stakeholder management. Successful completion opens pathways to advanced AI certifications, internships with partner firms, or entry‑level roles in product design and AI consulting. Joining this internship offers a rare chance to blend creativity with technology, gain mentorship from seasoned professionals, and build a portfolio that stands out in a competitive job market.
