IDE 105 Launchpad First-Year Entrepreneurial Thinking
The focus of this course is to drive a deep understanding of several aspects of entrepreneurship: customer discovery, customer development; zero-to-one solutions, UI/UX for solutions, rapid prototyping, and competitive landscape. The standard lecture format will be creatively reconfigured as a series of guided month-long "hackathons" wherein students go through the entrepreneurial thinking journey to different team members. At the start of each month, student groups pick a pain-point they resonate with the most. They validate this problem with interviews, propose out-of-the-box solutions on wireframe, then proceed to rapidly build a solution to get towards product-market-fit.
