Micro-internship brief ≈9h across 2 days — redesign, then paper-test with real people and fixlow-code

Redesign a confusing real form as 3 mobile screens

Public-service forms often intimidate the people who need them most. Pick a real confusing form, use AI to strip its jargon into plain language, redesign it as 3 clean mobile screens, and paper-test them with 2 real people.

The work brief

  1. 01Get a real form (photo or PDF) and map its pain: jargon, unclear fields, no progress sense, error-prone bits.
  2. 02Restructure it into 3 mobile screens: logical grouping, clear progress, plain language — ask AI to rewrite the jargon (bilingual labels where it helps), keeping only rewrites a nervous first-timer would actually understand.
  3. 03Mock the 3 screens in Figma/Canva with AI assistance.
  4. 04Paper-test: show the screens to 2 real people who’d plausibly fill this form. Where do they hesitate? Fix the worst spot.

What you’ll produce

4 deliverables

Submission standard

Submit the original form image, your 3 screens, the test notes, and the fix you made after testing, plus your AI workflow. Also submit the public Figma/Canva view-link to your screens and a screenshot of your own editor showing your account name and today's date.

  • The real form (photo/screenshot)

    Image uploadRequired

  • Your 3 redesigned mobile screens in one image

    Image uploadRequired

  • The pain map: what confuses people in the original, and your restructuring logic

    Written responseRequired

  • The 2-person test: where they hesitated, and what you fixed

    Record where each of the 2 testers hesitated in their own words and the exact fix you made — the hesitation must map to a specific spot on your 3 screens. Invented or generic testing fails.

    Written responseRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

What you must submit as proof

This brief requires evidence an AI can’t fabricate.

  • Public Figma/Canva view-link to your 3 mobile screens

    Figma 'Share > Anyone with the link' or Canva view-link. Must open to YOUR editable screens — a dead or private link fails.

    Public linkRequired

  • Screenshot of your OWN Figma/Canva editor building the screens — account name and today's date visible

    Show the live editor with your username and system date, not just the exported screens.

    Image uploadRequired

Submissions without this evidence cannot be submitted.

Protect other people in your proof. Blur faces, names, phone numbers and email addresses before you upload, and refer to anyone you worked with by role or number ("Listener 1", "the stall owner"). Your proof is only ever used to check your work — it is never published, never appears on your certificate, and is never shown in your public portfolio.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Pain diagnosis

14%

The pain map identifies real usability failures in the original.

Redesign quality

29%

The 3 screens are genuinely easier: grouping, language, progress.

Really tested

29%

Two real people tested it and a real fix followed.

First-party provenance

29%

Auto-fail if the screens have no live editable file, if the editor screenshot lacks account/date, or if the test notes read invented or do not map to a specific spot on the screens.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
