<aside> ✏️ About the Course: The course has two parts. The first features an entrepreneur sharing their experiences and knowledge in a particular area of building a startup through a lecture-style, moderated, or a Q&A-driven talk. The second entails reflecting on industry speakers’ talks to internalize new information with peers through interactive discussions and case studies. We also feature resources and relay updated information about events on campus to help students kickstart their ventures.
The course meets one time per week on Tuesdays from 6-8 PM followed by a supplementary smaller discussion section on Thursdays. The class is speaker-driven with sessions featuring entrepreneurs who share their experiences and knowledge in a particular area of building a startup. It will also feature guest professors and introduce you to resources on campus to help you build your venture.
Build The Future (UGBA 198) is sponsored by The House.
