Course Description
Have you ever had an idea and wondered, “Could this be a real business?” In this hands-on mini-course, you’ll turn an everyday problem into a startup idea, work in teams, and learn how entrepreneurs think. Through games, mini-challenges, and short activities, you’ll practice choosing a problem to solve, talking to “customers,” testing your idea, and building a simple business model. By the end of the week, you’ll create and pitch a mini-startup project, and leave with tools to spot opportunities and feel more confident sharing your ideas.
