Robotics to Revenue
Entrepreneurship Camp with Innovate Alabama
Have you ever had a million-dollar idea? In partnership with Innovate Alabama, we move beyond building robots to building businesses in this camp. Students will step into the shoes of a business founder, identifying real-world problems and brainstorming robotic solutions. We will explore the "life of a product"—from managing basic supply chains to understanding how operations management keeps a company running. The week culminates in a "Shark Tank" style pitch where campers present their innovative robotic ventures to a panel.
Focus: Product Innovation & Business Basics
