Last year I was enrolled in a class called creativity in action and we were assigned to create a product that would impact Florida in a positive way. Our group decided to focus on the women's homeless population so we created a a reusable product for mensuration. This assignment allowed us to take an idea from beginning to end and really experience the whole process of innovating a new idea. At the end of this project our goal was to compete in a competition called Catalyst that brings everyone's ideas to a showcase and have real judges, entrepreneurs, and local business leaders judge our work. This entire experience gave us an insight into the world of innovating, designing, and perusing our goal of winning an award at the showcase. At the end of the showcase our group named the Period Pack won the Gator Good award for creating an invention that would impact Floridians in a positive manor. I enrolled in ENT 3003 to get a better insight to the world of entrepreneurship and expand my knowledge on ways to enhance my skills on observing products and improving them. I'm excited to learn about new techniques that will allow me to advance my career. I believe this class will be a great step in advancing my way of thinking about products and inventions in our everyday life.
