A meeting of entrepreneurial minds💡
Creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship were on display this past weekend during Start-Up Skidmore. The inaugural, three-day workshop challenged students from all disciplines to brainstorm, prototype, and pitch ideas for products and businesses in a Shark Tank-style simulation. Along the way, they networked with successful entrepreneurial alumni and stretched their imaginations to see just how far creative thought can take them.
