from prototype to pitch workshop

via NAIS 2017 with Reshan Richards and Kate Godwin

Activity 1: Innovation Challenge -DISRUPTUS (lead by don)

Activity 2: Frame Your Entrepreneurship Program (30 minutes) (lead by Kate)

Individual task (though leaning on others) to think about one’s own institution.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

——————————————————————————————————————————

Frame your problem as a design question.

——————————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————————-

State the ultimate impact you are trying to have (what does success look like)?

——————————————————————————————————————————-

What are some possible ideas to address your problem (think broadly)?

——————————————————————————————————————————-

Write down some of the context and constraints that you are facing (age range, demographics,

type of school, organizational mission, etc.).

——————————————————————————————————————————

——————————————————————————————————————————-

Before you move on, does your original design question need a tweak?

——————————————————————————————————————————

Activity 3: Build a Network and Collaborate (10 Minutes) (lead by Reshan)

Based on what was posted, find 2-3 others whose thinking (or context and constraints) are

similar and form a team/network to lean on as you dive more deeply into what your

Entrepreneurship program/course might look like.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Activity 4: Design Your (Group’s) Entrepreneurship Program and Pitch (30 Minutes + 10)

(lead by Reshan and don)

Some technical questions to consider:

Who is a person at your school who would be interested in facilitating

——————————————————————————————————————————

What space could be used in your school

——————————————————————————————————————————

List/think of 5 community members (parents, alumni, board members, family members of

faculty) who would be willing to be consulted as experts/guests/mentors/pitch panelists

How do you make it fit in the schedule?

——————————————————————————————————————————

Ask table groups to share with each other with about 5 minutes left. Ask for 1-2 volunteers to

share with the entire group.

Each group presents pitch to whole class. Feedback I like/I wish/What if? (lead by don)

I Like!

——————————————————————————————————————————

I Wish!

——————————————————————————————————————————

What if?

——————————————————————————————————————————

Activity 5: Innovation Challenge -DISRUPTUS (lead by don)

Get back to the original game, step away from the course design and engage, once again, in

some entrepreneurial design/thinking.
