Summer courses are being offered that will help students discover and develop their own business idea that does the world good. See the CIED site for more information.
The main startup entrepreneurship course, the Startup Entrepreneurship Academy (Crown 90), takes place over both summer sessions (8 weeks, June 24 to August 16). This course simulates building a business and introduces the basics of creating a startup company using Steve Blank’s Lean LaunchPad, which has been adopted by the NSF I-Corps program. Students learn practical principles of data collection, product market research, and leadership and team-building skills needed for new companies. Class is worth 5 units of general education credit.
