In the second half of the program, students will put that knowledge into action by creating their own ventures. Students will form teams to work on their startup ideas, and each team will prepare a 5-minute pitch to a panel of entrepreneurs and investors for feedback.

Students are expected to complete all assigned coursework, take all examinations, and attend class regularly. Participants will be awarded credit for the following course upon successful completion of the program: Community Engagement and Social Change (CESC) 98A (2 units).
