Description This subject equips you with the skills to design and build applications using cutting-edge “vibe coding” and no-code platforms, without the need to learn computer programming. Working collaboratively in teams, you will apply entrepreneurial methods inspired by design thinking to develop and launch a bare-bones version of an original start-up idea that addresses a technology-related legal challenge for a specific group of users or stakeholders. Through this process, you will develop digital literacy, entrepreneurial thinking, and “horizon scanning” skills that are increasingly valued in the legal profession and beyond. In today’s job market, lawyers, policymakers, and legal scholars are expected not only to understand the law but also to demonstrate creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. By completing this subject, you will gain practical, future-oriented capabilities that enhance your employability and prepare you to stand out in an evolving professional landscape.
