Currently, Weeks 1 and 2 are live. Week 3 is coming soon! **Students are free to join any week!** Hello! I'm Miss. Paulina. I have experience: 1) successfully launching multiple multi-million dollar businesses, products, and services worldwide for big tech, 2) investing in and advising for multiple start-ups that have surpassed their annual revenue targets, and 3) teaching career, personal finance, and business classes to underrepresented groups. I bring all of this together to teach students entrepreneurship in a developing series focused entirely on how to build, launch, and scale a business. Welcome to the first course in this series! Details: 🏆 What will be taught? This is the second class in an eight-class series where students will learn essential tools and skills to start them on their entrepreneurship journey. 🎯 What topics will be covered? In this second class, students will learn the 5 sources of new ideas, including steps for how to identify new ideas within each source. Use cases (i.e., real business examples) will be covered within each idea source to expose students to innovation in action. 🧩 How is your class structured and how will you teach? This class is taught with powerpoint slides that will introduce essential entrepreneurship concepts first in theory, then with a real life example (e.g., a case study of a real business), then practical tools and resources the student can use (e.g., how can you take this information and actually apply it to your business idea?). 👩🏻🏫 What is your teaching style? I believe in teaching simply and practically. My goal is for students to walk away with a foundational toolkit that they can actually use to build a business. I do this by: 1) using real life examples to help students contextualize information and 2) intentionally designing easy-to-use and easy-to-remember tools and resources. 🤝 How do you keep students engaged? There are two activities in this class. I ask the student to write down their initial understanding of a concept and real life examples of businesses they frequent. I display a timer on the screen to help students understand how much time they have to ideate. When the timer completes, I share some common answers I receive in live classes to expose self-paced students to different opinions and experiences. Finally, I finish the activity by sharing knowledge and details on the specific concept. 🎉 How much will learners get to interact with me? Students are invited to reach out to me via Outschool to ask questions about this class.

Entrepreneurship 101: Week 2: Idea Sources - Where do new ideas come from?
In this class, students learn 5 sources of new ideas that have helped successful entrepreneurs start their businesses.

By showing them how to think of and find new ideas, the goal of this class is to help students find inspiration for their next business idea.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Mrs. Paulina and I help kids learn how to be an entrepreneur. I have over a decade of experience successfully launching new multi-million dollar businesses, products and services internationally within big tech. I have also advised for three businesses that are regularly achieving $1MM+ in annual sales. Lastly, I have over a decade of experience teaching kids of underrepresented communities entrepreneurship, how to have a career in tech, and financial literacy. I am passionate at helping the next generation of entrepreneurs find their inspiration and start their journey. I teach entrepreneurship from a lens of data, best practices within the business community, and personal experience. My goal is to give kids the skills to find innovation all around them, take the best steps possible to succeed on their journey to becoming an entrepreneur, and continuously learn from their experiences. Outside of Outschool and my full time career in big tech, you'll find me reading (non-fiction and scifi), traveling (next trip: Taiwan!), and trying out new hobbies (currently: bouldering and painting).
