Overview
What is MEP?
Overview
MEP is an online program based on design thinking (idea innovation), the business model canvas (opportunity definition) and behavioral science (unleash your potential). Students start with self-awareness of their values and develop personal purpose and resilience plans. Next, they work in teams to solve problems that have personal meaning. They conduct empathy interviews of their customers, develop innovative solutions, assess the business opportunity and deliver a business pitch. Students will experience a joyful online experience (80% hands-on activities; 20% live lecture).
