Pathways Next-Step Slice

The Setup CampusEvolve builds Pathways, an AI-first guide that helps people move from high school into training, college, apprenticeships, and work, and from unemployment back into a job. Many users are under 18. Buyers are state agencies and school districts, who will roll Pathways out statewide if it is engaging and safe. The team builds the new way: give coding agents a clear outcome and acceptance criteria up front, then hold the result to a strong evaluation harness at the end. Your Task In about 30 minutes of build time, use AI coding agents to ship a small, mobile-first slice of Pathways that moves one person to a real next step. Start with a short spec for your agents. Build against the synthetic data below. Prove it works with automated checks. Then record a short video. Choose one persona to build end to end: Dani, 17, high school senior. Likes hands-on work. Torn between the electrical apprenticeship and community college. Wants to know what to do before winter break. Marcus, 34, laid off from a warehouse job last month. Needs a paying credential within six months. Can only attend evenings. Unsure what aid applies. Synthetic Data (fictional, use only these records) | ID | Record | Facts you can rely on | Last checked | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | | PRG-01 | Cascade Community College, Medical Assistant Certificate | 3 quarters; day classes only; estimated total tuition 4,200 USD; next start Jan 6, 2027 | Oct 20, 2026 | | PRG-02 | Northline Electrical Apprenticeship | Paid; 4 years; starts at 55% of journey-level wage; applicants must be 18 by the program start date; HS diploma or GED required; applications close Nov 30, 2026; program starts Mar 1, 2027 | Oct 20, 2026 | | PRG-03 | Riverbend University, BS Computer Science | 4 years; FAFSA or state aid application required; priority deadline Feb 1, 2027 | Oct 18, 2026 | | PRG-04 | Cascade Community College, IT Support Certificate | 2 quarters; evening online option; estimated total tuition 2,100 USD; next start Jan 6, 2027 | Oct 20, 2026 | | PRG-05 | Harbor Workforce Center, CDL Class A Training | 6 weeks; evening cohort available; eligible for dislocated-worker training funds | Oct 15, 2026 | | AID-A | Evergreen Opportunity Grant (state) | Income-based; apply through FAFSA or the state aid application; award amount varies | Oct 18, 2026 | | AID-B | Dislocated Worker Training Funds | Requires a layoff notice; apply through Harbor Workforce Center; covers approved training | Oct 15, 2026 | | ADV-01 | Human advisor hand-off | Advisors confirm eligibility, seats, and award amounts. Response within 2 business days. | n/a | Anything not in this table (seat availability, a specific person's eligibility, exact aid amounts, start dates not listed) is unknown. Your slice must say it can't confirm and offer the advisor hand-off. Constraints to Consider Grounded or silent. Answer only from the records above, show the source ID and last-checked date, and route anything else to an advisor. Never present a saved plan as an application, enrollment, or award. Minors' data stays out of the model. Users may be under 18. No name, age, or free-text personal detail may be sent to the model, and any "note for my advisor" field must never reach the model context. Log every model call so we can verify it. Runs with one command, no paid services. A mocked or local model is fine if it is clearly labeled. No accounts, databases, or real integrations. Thirty minutes of build. Ship one persona end to end and stop. A small slice that runs and is tested beats a large one that doesn't. You own it in front of the state. Assume a state agency pilots this with several thousand students next month, and you answer their questions. AI Usage Guidance We expect you to use AI tools. We evaluate how you use them, not whether you use them. Evidence of iteration, redirection, and critical evaluation scores higher than a polished output with no process documentation. The single highest-signal indicator: your video answer to the mandatory AI question. If you cannot name a specific moment where you redirected AI output, evaluators will assume you did not. Mandatory AI question for your video: Walk me through one moment where you disagreed with, pushed back on, or redirected what the AI gave you, and what you did instead. Name the specific moment. Explain what the AI produced that didn't meet the bar, what you did differently, and why. Speak naturally and conversationally, as if you're briefing your CEO directly. Communication is assessed on clarity of technical reasoning and your ability to explain decisions to a non-engineer. We don't assess verbal polish, accent, or filler words. Submission: Upload each deliverable as a separate file directly on the Provn platform: your build files, your README document (build summary and AI Usage Log), and your video walkthrough (MP4 or MOV).
