I think one of the times I was exposed to entrepreneurship the most was last summer in the Creativity in Context class where we built a prototype of a product that we had redesigned. Before then I had never thought of myself as creative, innovative or an entrepreneur. With that assignment we had to present our prototype to at least fifty different people or more and among them was a panel of judges. It was a great experience and opened my eyes to the world of being an entrepreneur. I am taking this class one because it is the next class that the Innovation Academy wants me to take but also because after taking the past two Innovation classes I am very interested and all of the classes to come. When I got into the Innovation Academy program I thought I would never use a minor in Innovation but these classes have taught me so much more than I expected and so much that I will be able to use in any future job field that I go into.

ReplyDeleteCourtney,
ReplyDeleteI think that is awesome that you actually made a prototype. That is so cool, and something a lot of people can't say they have done. I'm glad that your minor in innovation is requiring you take the class. I am taking it for my business concentration. I think we are definitely going to learn a lot, and I like how the class is based on experiences. I have never had an entrepreneurship experience as cool as yours, but when I was younger, I was able to make some money selling my leftover vegetables to hungry students! But, that is my only entrepreneurship experience to date.

ReplyDeleteWow Courtney, I think it is so cool that a class made you actually develop a prototype and present it to multiple people. I believe hand on assignments like that are extremely beneficial because they take concepts we learn and school and apply them to reality. Thanks for sharing what class it was because it seems really intriguing! Here's the link to my blog post as well: http://julianakrevans.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-entrepreneurship-story.html
