5 NEURSHIP START HERE Your Journey Starts Here There are fundamentals that are important for entrepreneurs to master. No two paths are the same, all begin in the same way with an idea. The Spirit of Entrepreneurship A gamified entrepreneurship course app Get started by playing this app! ehub has the licensing so stop by 9007 HUB to play and see if entrepreneurship is right for you. The App: Students buy and sell lemonade stand inventory to the citizens of a fictional town. Mini-games and awards encourage students to move through 12 modules of comprehensive content. As students progress, they are able to run their stands more effectively and, hopefully, more profitably. Students are required to assess their business environment, make financial decisions, and apply marketing strategies within the game itself. They are also able to review slide notes and interact with each other, in real-time, right from the app. 01
6 NEXT STEP THE ehub BADGES ehub Badges represent an earned skill in fundamental concepts of entrepreneurship. They are a way of verifying skills, achievements and performance milestones. Based on an open standard with different issuers and validating agents from all over Alberta, ehub Badges knit together to give investors, potential co-founders and influencers the full picture of your achievements. There is no requirement to earn Badges in a specific order for membership at ehub. However, funding support and partnering opportunities are tied to ehub Badges. ehub s Pathways to Entrepreneurship are suggested routes to putting legs on your idea or to accelerating the progress of your project, initiative or venture. The Pathways correspond to commonly accepted stages of entrepreneurial development. You will find that the speed at which you earn individual Badges will vary: You ll achieve some quickly while others will take you a bit longer to earn.
