Student Entrepreneurs: A Reality-Based Video Series following the STEM Virtual Enterprise

The three-year NSF ATE project focuses on creating a set of reality-TV style videos that depict students at four community colleges engaged in hands-on, real-world STEM business enterprise activities in their VE-infused STEM classes. In addition, selected student videos will be used to create professional development (PD) videos to help faculty build their capacity to integrate this student-centered learning model into their courses and programs of study. The PD videos will show instructors how to add entrepreneurial exercises to STEM classroom activities. Also intended for student audiences, the videos will demonstrate model business and entrepreneurial activities that the student viewers will subsequently undertake in class.
