Center Finalist in 3E Learning Innovative Entrepreneurship Education Competition
The Center for Entrepreneurial Learning and Leadership has been listed as a finalist in the 2010-11 3E Learning Innovative Entrepreneurship Education Competition at the USASBE conference in Hilton Head Island (Jan 15-16).
Results: We didn’t make the top three this time. Congratulations to Peter Marik (1st), Ikenna Uzuegbunam (2nd) and Marcos Hashimoto (3rd).
We were shortlisted for our Trade Show/Venture Concept Exhibition that the students have been undertaking in the Entrepreneurship classes since 2008. In the Trade Show students teams are invited to develop a business concept for an entrepreneurial idea which they first pitch to a panel of investors and then they undertake a Venture Concept Exhibition. The exhibition is a simulation of a Trade Show and students develop stalls, brochures, prototypes and poster boards to demonstrate their concepts. They are also judged on their ability to sell the business idea and get people to the Trade Show.
