PresenterPresentation NotesFirst of all, when you see this question, what comes to mind?What is an entrepreneur?
We value these characteristics in entrepreneurs that enable them to succeedBut what drives them?In all of the interactions Ive had with entrepreneurs and reading, its clear that entrepreneurs focus on some very important questions
Why, motivation

PresenterPresentation NotesIve shared a little bit about the why - motivations of entrepreneurs and characteristicsTalked about where ideas come from what they work on
Now how do entrepreneurs go about using their competencies to create impact in the world through their experiences that fuel great ideas?
Just share a couple tidbits that help to frame the type of entrepreneurship I am sharing with you today.Its about building as you gonot knowing what the right answer isvaluing failureMuch more to it, but it gives you an idea of where were heading

Entrepreneurial Thinking & Albertas Curricular Directions
Intentional design of learning that engages academically and intellectually
Worthwhile, relevant, connected work
Relationships & culture of learning
Friesen, S. (2009). What did you do in school today? Teaching Effectiveness: A Framework and Rubric. Toronto: Canadian Education Association.
PresenterPresentation NotesWeve talked about the why, what, how
It lives across pedagogy
Ministerial Order on student learning sets direction for the educated Albertan of the future to be the 3 Es: an Engaged Thinker and Ethical Citizen with an Entrepreneurial Spirit
We can see strong connections in entrepreneurial learning and application across the design of tasks and assessments.Examples: Teaching Effectiveness Framework Dr. Sharon Friesen and the Galileo Educational Network Werklund School of Education at the U of C (particularly principles 1, 2, and 4), the Alberta Education cross-curricular competencies, and the Key Components of the Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) program of studies.
Entrepreneurial spirit requires us to define it more make connections between what how entrepreneurs do their work and pedagogy

PresenterPresentation NotesYou may think that this is how our experiment happened:Mutually interested, Seth Godins Ship It JournalStartup Weekend Womens Invited 4 educators next oneFirst experiment YYCSecond experiment YEG
Simple to think this way. But reality, leads to deeper questions - networks, interactions and ideas come together, change, and move
Heres actually how it all happened:Yes, five major milestones of how we got there, but the rest is very important and is one aspect of entrepreneurial education that we would like to study next. Here it goes:Elements that are of note near the beginning of this journeyEdcamp (sat)Ship-ItEdInnovationISTEProvincial directionsConnected, diversified perspectives, diversified people, diversified experiencesPeople heres how they interacted with these elementsStartups, educators, students, accelerators, mentors, communityStart seeing people in multiple venuesBegin mixing diverse people and bringing them into each communityWhats come from itCBE Comprehensive School Health System LeadSpeakoutStudent and staff empowerment, stronger and more supportive startupsAlso interesting to note how we brought our perspectives together sometimes individually, sometimes with other educators, and sometimes togetherNext stepsThis entire process points to informal formative researchConstant circling backLearning and incorporating new knowledgeConnecting to new people, experiencesBuilding and interacting through the networkYou can also see Steven Johnsons work on great ideasTime and trialSeemingly unrelated groups and ideasCollisions between ideas and people across the networkRiskiest partsPersonal risk - SW Womens, SW MRUProfessional, personal, social - SWEDU YYC first time, and 2nd time SWEDU YEG totally different challenges

What Did People Tell Us?
[Ive] never felt so vulnerable in a safe environment. Armageddon could be on the horizon and I know who I would choose to be in my bunker. Seriously.
This experience confirmed [that] you don't have to wait to grow up and be something. You already are something.
I saw the Matrix and I cannot go back to the pod again. I don't know whattomorrow holds, but I do know that I have control over it and I have value. I can contribute to a bigger part of thischanging world because I connected with people who already are.
My day job is lacking luster after being part of this and I wish the weekend would never end. What if [this] environment was where a person could work every day? Imagine the possibilities. I know I am.
