Students and teachers from Wyoming Seminary visited the University of Scranton on Thursday to participate in a hands-on entrepreneurial design challenge.
SCRANTON, Pa. — Students spent Thursday honing their entrepreneurial skills in Scranton.
Seventh-grade students from Wyoming Seminary took part in a hands-on entrepreneurial design challenge at the University of Scranton.
They worked in teams with help from university graduate students to develop business plans, strategies, logos, and other business-related tasks.
Organizers say the challenge helps students better understand what goes into starting a business.
“I’m hoping they get a lot of teamwork exercise, which is important hoping they get an understanding of how to interact with these machines that we have up-and-coming technology that were hoping the students engage with and I think they’re gonna get a good sense of what it takes to actually start a business,” said Tom Bryant, Director of IDEA Center at the University of Scranton.
The challenge was held at the university’s new state-of-the-art IDEA Center in Weiss Hall.
