Content of the module:
The module teaches entrepreneurial ways of thinking and acting in a project-based and practical way. Students work on real challenges in interdisciplinary teams and go through key phases of the start-up process:
The seminar Entrepreneurship Basics teaches the basic skills of entrepreneurial thinking and action and guides students through a structured process from the initial business idea to the pitch of a validated business model.
Student2Startup is a practice-oriented seminar that transfers the concepts learned in Entrepreneurship Basics to real startup contexts. Students work in teams with real pre-seed startup projects from the KIT environment and work on concrete entrepreneurial challenges.
The SIL - LaunchLab is a project-based seminar in which students work on real entrepreneurial - and in some cases technical - challenges from teams from the Student Innovation Lab (SIL). Each LaunchLab team receives a specific task from a SIL team, which is assigned at the kick-off of the seminar.
Qualification goals:
The students:
- experience action-based learning by independently developing solutions to entrepreneurial tasks, reflecting on them and learning the underlying theoretical concepts,
- acquire knowledge about the development and implementation of business ideas,
- apply methods such as Lean Startup, Business Model Canvas and prototyping,
- analyze real problems of customers, users or start-ups,
- develop innovative solutions in a team,
- put entrepreneurial thinking into practice,
- improve their skills in teamwork, communication and project work.
The content promotes both analytical and creative thinking, cooperative work and entrepreneurial action in a real-life environment.
