Abstract

As interest in entrepreneurship continues to rise, educators should attempt to engage students through the use of interactive exercises that demonstrate key concepts and provide opportunities to practice what they learn. This article aims to describe four ideas for projects and assignments relevant to entrepreneurship education. Each of these tasks can be used to introduce concepts, initiate discussion, and provide students with the opportunity to gain experience with certain entrepreneurial activities. These exercises may also be useful when teaching courses on related topics in management. Instructors should think critically about how to tie course concepts to each of the exercises, tailoring each to fit the needs of their specific class.
