3.0
creditsAverage Course Rating
This course will provide students with opportunities to learn about Baltimore’s exciting entrepreneurship and innovation landscape. Students will begin with the development of a “sense of place” for their new home; learning to understand both Baltimore and Johns Hopkins University through historical and social lenses and making meaning of Baltimore's current challenges, opportunities, and affordances. Students will be introduced to spaces on campus such as the Digital Media Center and FastForward and will visit local sites in Baltimore such as Baltimore’s Innovation Works, Betamore, and Accelerate Baltimore. During these experiences, students will be exposed to local leaders to hear about their experiences. Back in the classroom, students will consider leadership qualities that are key to entrepreneurship and innovation and will explore their own leadership skills to understand their strengths and areas for growth. The course will focus on team-based projects and exercises, but students will also prepare short, written reflections which will provide opportunities for them to process their learning and leadership development throughout the course.
