HENT-307B: ECamp 2

THEME/CONTENT The goal of ECamp is to provide an immersive collaborative experience in entrepreneurship. Up to 10 ArtCenter and 10 CSUN undergrads, in various majors, will come together to participate and learn how to develop a viable pitch of a business idea to groups that can actually fund these businesses. The United Nations Millennium Goals (http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/) have informed ECamp's choice of the theme: Smart Cities: Eradicate Hunger. Students will form teams to create a business that develops a product to end hunger in Los Angeles and then pitch this concept in a Shark Tank-like setting to real investors and city officials. To support this, students will have workshops, lectures, in-class exercises and case study speakers on Branding, Marketing, Economics, Design, Professional Practice and Entrepreneurship.
