Bootcamp Puzzle

Discover what it means to think and act like an entrepreneur

Students explore the UN Global goals, build connections to real-life challenges, and learn how to take focused action to make an immediate impact.

Through team building, empathy journeys, market research, and customer discovery, they will form a deeper understanding of the real people affected by the problem they have chosen to research. Students go on to refine their proposed solutions through brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and feedback.

At the end of the program, students share their research in a Rocket Pitch format, where they highlight how they intend to create, deliver, and capture value sustainably.
