The Lean Startup movement promotes a non-traditional classroom approach to entrepreneurial learning. This hand-on methodology requires students to propose and test their hypotheses in “real world” scenarios. Industry mentors review findings with students, helping them make appropriate adjustments to their innovation and/or launch plan in preparation for bringing their ideas to market. Lean Startup emphasizes engagement and experiential study.
“We consider it a great privilege to welcome Jerry Engel to Central Florida,” says Ivan Garibay, Ph.D., Program Director for UCF I-Corps. “Having the co-founder and leader in the Lean Startup movement here to spend time with students, faculty, aspiring entrepreneurs and industry leaders is an incredible opportunity. We look forward to learning from him as we develop and shape our own I-Corps program.”
