Tyler's Entrepreneurship Story

A relevant time in my life when I was exposed to entrepreneurship was for my high school science fair project senior year. As part of the engineering magnet program at the high school, all senior students enrolled in the program had to identify problems either practical or researched-based, and work towards finding a solution to that problem. My project focused on designing a solution for the physically blind that was a more efficient aid to walking (compared to a standard cane). The solution I created was a helmet that had ultrasonic sensors built into it, programmed to alert the walker via earphones.  I weighed the implementability of this solution and the alternatives that existed. It was implementable enough, although it turned out to be too impractical. And there probably do exist alternatives today that offer canes with some sort of sensing in them.

I am taking this class because I am interested in learning more about how the principles of entrepreneurship work as guidelines to basic problem solving. It seems that many of the principles give a foundation for how to turn problems into realistic solutions. Also, I am studying Political Science and do not take many business classes, and would like to learn into level principles of  marketing business solutions.
