499 BEE Capstone: Paper/Project and Presentation
The Liberal Studies major at Providence Christian College culminates in two capstone courses. These courses are designed to allow students to demonstrate their mastery of institution-wide learning outcomes as well as their achievement of competency in their chosen area of concentration through a presentation of a paper or project. Particular components of this course including goals, objectives and methods of assessment appropriate for the particular concentration will be set by the faculty member.
This course provides real world, hands-on learning on what it's like to start a high-tech company. This class is not about how to write a business plan nor is it a theory or "text book" class. It is a practical class--essentially a lab. The goal is to create an entrepreneurial experience with all of the pressures and demands in an actual early-stage startup. You will work in teams (with a coach) to talk to potential customers, partners, and competitors, encountering along the way the chaos and non-linear nature of starting a successful business. You will use the business model canvas to test each part of the company and utilize customer development techniques to get out of the classroom in order to discover if people actually want your product or service and how you can make it better. Finally, based on the customer and market feedback, you will use agile development to either stay the course or "pivot", that is, make large or small changes to your product or service. Each class will be a new adventure as you discover new things about your start-up and share these exciting discoveries with the rest of the class. (3 credits)
