    TECHNOPRENEURSHIP

    UP Department of Computer Science


    By Ruben Canlas Jr.
    15 weeks
    Wed/Fri, 4-5:30

    Overview:

    It takes courage and a certain mindset to become a technopreneur. It also takes


    interdiscipinary skills and the ability to think differently in order to survive the business. The
    best way to learn this discipline is to get your hands dirty while learning some useful
    theories and tips along the way.

    The Technopreneurship course will guide you through the experience of setting up a small
    tech-based business. It combines practice, reflection and mentoring to let you get a taste
    of what it takes to start up a business. Statistically speaking, some will succeed, most
    won't. What's important in the end is whether you learned your lesson and get up again to
    start the next venture. This experience will help you learn more about yourself and prepare
    for real-world technopreneurship.

    Objectives:

    At the end of the course, participants will be able to start up a technology-based business.

    Methodology:

    This course relies on adult learning techniques -- experiential, interactive and facilitated.
    Students will be grouped into project teams. They will go through a series of exercises and
    projects that will help them create a start up from idea to execution. Optional: groups will
    be tasked to invite technopreneurs who will speak in class to describe their experience.

    Proposed Outline:

    This outline is the logical framework for the course. The implementation will follow a
    different approach, which is described in the lesson overview that follows this outline.
