Hey Designers,

Today we are talking to Rob Phelan, the author of The Simple Start Up.  Rob shares how he turned a problem that he saw in his curriculum into a real-world opportunity for his students and for himself.  

Entrepreneurial projects can help with thinking skills, engagement, intrinsic motivation and a fail forward mindset.  They teach students that the locus of control to solve their own problems is with them.  Creativity and innovation come at the intersection of disparate ideas.
