SLN: 14392 (email for add code)
Mondays, 3:30-6:50pm
Course Description: Grand Challenges for Entrepreneurs (Entre 579) explores big problems and opportunities facing society, ranging from healthcare and education, to poverty. The course examines how solutions to these massive challenges can be researched, validated, and implemented using such entrepreneurial tools such as design thinking, business models, and lean entrepreneurship. The class works best when there are students from across campus in it.
Students in the class will develop an entrepreneurial mindset; when others see insurmountable problems, entrepreneurs look for opportunities to use technology and innovative thinking to solve real world problems. An entrepreneurial perspective is also a wonderful way of thinking in order to tackle new opportunities in entrepreneurship, whether it is in government, NGOs or for-profit companies. A key feature of this class is the interdisciplinary students from across campus. If you have any questions, please email Professor Emily Pahnke at eacox@uw.edu
