Critical Thinking, Innovation, Technology, and Business Entrepreneurship
What's included
1 live meeting
50 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Ideally, I will assign the topics the week before class and the students can do research on the topic so they can come to class ready to discuss. However, I know schedules are busy and sometimes the students will not have time to be prepared for class. So at the beginning of class we will have time to research and learn about the topic of discussion.Assessment
At the end of each ten week learning cycle there will be an informal, short, written, open book, report about what topics were discussed and what the student learned.Class Experience
Are you interested in technology, innovation, and/or entrepreneurial businesses from the past, present, and future. Then this is the class for you where every week will be a new learner driven discussion about these topics. Every week will be a new topic for discussion about technological innovations. I will also be including business discussions to foster the young minds thinking about entrepreneurial business in the real world. I have a wide variety of topics developed to discuss such as, flying cars, submersibles, self driving cars, spacex, lawn care, amusement parks, gonge, youtube, ikea, internet of things, robots, conveyor belt restaurant, bullet trains, drop shipping, bitcoin, bicycles and the list goes on. Ideally, I will assign the topics before class and the students can do research on the topic so they can come to class ready to discuss. However, I know schedules are busy and sometimes the students will not have time to be prepared for class.
