The objective of this course is to encourage students to explore the start-up journey and gain entrepreneurship experience. Through project -based learning, students will form a team to co-work together to define a start-up project that they want to do in this course. With this ownership of the project, they will also learn how to collaborate, communicate and contribute to the project. With the tailor-made lectures based on the roadmap of start-up, including the session about impact to society (introduction to United Nation ’s 17 SDGs), students will learn different start -up skillsets step by step. In addition, each group of the start-up team will be assigned an industrial mentor to share experience and guidance to the team to upgrade the business plan to a realistic plan. Finally, students will have a presentation in the demo day to share their projects to potential investors. After this course, students will be invited to join CUHK Entrepreneurs Day organized by CUHK Alumni Affairs Office. Thus, this course provides whole -person training to encourage students to be innovative and have entrepreneurship spirit.
