Experiential Semester in Digital Entrepreneurship and Innovation
|
|
|
This course has two components. The first is a one-week, intensive Bootcamp which provides participants with the skills to work together as members of high-performance teams, successfully develop innovative products or services, launch these products/services in the market (either internally or externally) or spin-off their technology into independent start-ups more rapidly and effectively. The second component is a major team-based project that stretches over the remainder of the semester. Students may pursue their own entrepreneurial ideas that have the potential to become a commercial product or a service, and industry-requested and focussed project or a specifically assigned project relevant to an external "client" or opportunity.
