Shark Tank-Style Pitch Comp.

Catalog description

This course is where ideas start becoming real. Students take a business, product, or service idea and begin transforming it into something they can actually build, test, and share with others. Along the way, they learn how entrepreneurs explore what people want, improve ideas through feedback, and create something with real potential to stand out. Students develop a prototype or demo, strengthen their concept, and prepare polished materials that can be used for competitions, presentations, and other real-world opportunities. The course ends with a Shark Tank-style pitch competition, where students present their work in an exciting, high-energy showcase. Offered in a flexible hybrid format, the course combines online learning with required in-person working sessions that bring ideas to life. Prerequisite: EI 3310 or MN 3310 . (Fall only).
