To those who will be in the entrepreneurial development class for the 2019–2020 school year: the best advice I can give you is to come in with something you are passionate about. If you do not enter into your project with the fire to see it through, then you will end up stumbling right at the gate.
The next bit of advice is simply to be prepared for mishaps. There will inevitably be technical/manufactural/time related difficulties, and it is going to take a couple of tries to calculate everything out properly. That’s okay! You will get the hang of it.
Finally, remember to have fun with the project you choose to pursue. Go outside of the conventional if you wish to do so! This is genuinely the best class I have been a part of here at UIC, and you will have everyone at your beck to help you keep your head up throughout the year.
Good luck!
