LED- Design Guidelines for Integrating Entrepreneurship into K-12 Classrooms

• In Event: D&D/LED- Innovations in K-12 Design (v)

Short Description

During the pandemic is was difficult for educators to find engaging ways to teach students online. Much of this was due to the “newness” of this style of teaching and the lack of resources and training.

This session will provide guidance on the design and development of an online entrepreneurship course that is not only experiential and engaging but can be done without complicated technology, simulations, or deep teacher background knowledge in the subject. The session will explore a short course in entrepreneurship that takes middle and high school students on a journey from product idea to launch. The session is designed to serve two purposes. First, it will demonstrate how design thinking, authentic problems and scaffolding can be used in an online format, and second, it will demonstrate the importance of entrepreneurship education and how impactful it can be for students.
