The Sprint Experience
Through online sessions, small teams of upto
10 participants work through a process guided simultaneously by a trained human facilitator & Lumi's AI coach, to build Human-AI collaboration skills.
The process is deliberately gamified, data-driven & social: every interaction is analysed by Lumi's "Skills Engine," generating verifiable evidence that is stored in each learner's Digital Skills Passport.
