This article addresses a question we have discussed many times in class – whether entrepreneurs can be created. This article suggests that it’s not as impossible as some suggest, but that some steps need to be taken in order to modify the way that entrepreneurship is currently taught. Some of these things include eliminating traditional grading systems, “gamifying” entrepreneurial education (allowing professors to create game-like levels within the educational program to track the student’s progress), teaching “entrepreneurial qualities” through the use of simulations, encouraging mock businesses, and collaborating with other successful entrepreneurs. I agree that students can learn to be entrepreneurial, even if they aren’t typically geared this way, through more innovative classroom techniques. I was happy to read that instructors are pushing for these changes and look forward to seeing these techniques in action.
