Abstract about idea/exercise
|
| This short exercise seeks to encourage creative and entrepreneurial behavior in the classroom. Creative behavior is required in the form of a new paper aircraft capable of both flying further and staying aloft longer than any created by other classmates. Entrepreneurial behavior is required in the form of students 'selling' their aircraft design to their fellow classmates. Entrepreneurial validation occurs in two stages; first, to the extent other students ‘invest’ in it, by voting for the design as capable of flying further and/or staying aloft longer than any other offering, and second, by the aircraft's actual performance in a 'fly-off.' A guide for a post-exercise debriefing on the exercise’s relevance for understanding the nature of creative and entrepreneurial endeavor concludes the paper. |
