A time I have experienced entrepreneurship is through this program called launchpad scholars through UF. This program is run in infinity hall by a group people that help create startups and encourage entrepreneurship. This program is responsible for laundromat delivery services, freshman starter packs, etc. I was put in a group of 5 with all different majors, interest and years. Some had experience and some like me were brand new to this. This program was semester long and included multiple meetings creating a solution to a small problem. What my group decided to create was a laundry lock system to avoid getting your clothes taken in the dorm laundromats. We went through the process of interviews, small prototypes, multiple pitches and a final low-fye prototype. I really enjoyed this experience because it required me to get out of my comfort zone and speak out while working with a random group of others. overall it was fun and learning experience that provided me with skills I lacked prior to this situation.
The reason why I joined this class is because I am apart of the innovation academy and it is a requirement. Through the innovation academy we take a series of courses which would lead to graduating with an entrepreneurship minor.
As for picture uploads it was over a year ago and I tried looking for the power point and emailing a group member but was unsuccessful but if you look launchpad scholars UF you can get more information.
