The Business Lab course invites students to explore the exciting world of entrepreneurship through creativity, data, and collaboration. In this two-week online course, students will tap into their passions and interests to design a business idea that matters to them. Students will learn how entrepreneurs collect and use data to make smart decisions, improve their products, and understand their customers. Through hands-on activities and real-world case studies, students will build foundational skills in innovation, data literacy, and communication—while discovering what it takes to turn an idea into impact. By the end of the course, students will use real or simulated data to make evidence-based business decisions and pitch their idea in a final presentation.
