Course Content
Each session consists of a online module on a specific topic related to the entrepreneurial mindset. The session will introduce a range of approaches (e.g. concrete, abstract, theoretical, practical) on how to address the topic at hand. In online games and modules, students will explore how these different approaches can be applied. Students try out the approach, and learn quickly by trying out different strategies in the modules and games. Because of the competitive nature of the games, students will also learn from other students; sometimes it might be best to be the first one to take action, sometime is might be better to first see what others are doing. At the end of the course, students are equipped with a wide variety of tools, techniques, methods and experiences that will help them to apply an entrepreneurial mindset in the context they are working in.
