"I had heard the term 'entrepreneurship' before but never really understood it. This class helped me understand it properly. I enjoyed imagining myself as an entrepreneur, proposing a travel app as my idea, and developing it in detail."

"Going through the process of developing a startup idea, I got to think about things like company naming, marketing, and customer analysis. I haven't decided on my career path yet, but experiencing how an idea can grow into a real business was a meaningful experience."
