Objective
Step into the shoes of an entrepreneur and navigate through the challenges and triumphs of building a successful business. "Entrepreneurship Escape Room: Journey, Explore, Simulate" represents an innovative approach aimed at immersing participants into the world of entrepreneurship through a captivating blend of interactive exhibits and themed escape rooms. This program is crafted to engage individuals in an experiential journey, fostering their understanding of entrepreneurship in a dynamic and gamified setting.
The program offers a comprehensive and interactive learning experience that equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in the entrepreneurial landscape. Through a combination of escape room challenges, hands-on exploration, simulation exercises, and educational concept integration, participants gain a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship and develop practical skills that can be applied in real-world scenarios. With a focus on collaborative Black leadership and innovation, the project aims to foster entrepreneurship in a culturally-rooted geographic business hub, cultivate a talent pipeline seeded by education, and engage with the broader Black community. Additionally, the program incorporates ally investment and partnership to showcase support from local allies and partnerships throughout the challenges and scenarios.
Participants are divided into teams and guided through a series of escape room challenges, each designed to simulate different aspects of entrepreneurship. These challenges may include scenarios such as creating a succession plan, securing funding, marketing a product or service, franchising a business, and managing day-to-day operations. Participants must collaborate, problem-solve, and make strategic decisions to progress through each challenge.
Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
At the end of the Entrepreneurial Escape Room program, participants will enter an Entrepreneurship Ecosystem exhibit designed to support and empower their entrepreneurial journey. This ecosystem offers a range of resources and connections to help participants turn their ideas into successful ventures.
