In this class, students will meet and form teams to identify an environmental monitoring project they would like to design and implement. After projects are identified, we will use weekly class sessions for roll-up your sleeves working sessions on these projects. In these sessions you will (1) utilize online educational material to learn the technologies needed to build your device; (2) work iteratively, to develop and test a project prototype; and (3) (hopefully) develop a working system.

Social Entrepreneurism Design

Students who already have ideas for their own social enterprises spend the semester building the skills and connections to make these ideas a reality. This hands-on, experiential class explores innovation, finding and creatively using resources, economics and well-being, impact studies, feasibility, cross cultivation, market analysis, publicity, global opportunities, design and planning. Students create their own syllabus and present business simulations. Instructor permission required. Instructor Permission Criteria: Students must already have a strong idea for a social enterprise.

Intro Social Entrepreneurism

Students explore themselves, talents, motivations and dreams to realize new ways to address social needs and change through enterprise development. Grounded in experiential learning, this class is a balance of theory, hands-on learning, best practices and skills building. Students actively engage in creating a social enterprise. Class includes case studies, guest speakers and a possible field trip. No prior entrepreneurship or business experience is necessary. All students will complete and present an enterprise concept plan.
