MINI-CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Can You Go Viral in 20 Minutes?
Description: Team up to invent a product and create a scroll-stopping social media idea that could actually blow up with students your age. You’ll pitch it, the room decides if they’d stop scrolling, and we’ll break down what makes things go viral (and what flops).

So you think you have a million-dollar idea
Description: Spoiler: the idea is the easy part. Find out what actually makes a business work (and what makes most of them fail) from an instructor who's launched companies ranging from a brewery to an accounting firm. You'll leave with a framework you can use to test whether YOUR idea has what it takes.

Cash Crunch Challenge
Description: Teams run a startup through surprise expenses and fast decisions to keep the business alive and in the black. You'll be able to: explain the difference between revenue and expenses; tell fixed costs from variable costs; make a simple decision to protect cash flow; and describe why a business can be “profitable on paper” but still run out of money

Property law & monkeys
Description: Learn why the answer to every legal question is, "It Depends!" with reference to some famous cases involving a spider monkey in a fur coat and a selfie-taking Indonesian macaque!
