What happens
Three things, in 45 minutes
Find something annoying
Every business started because something irritated somebody. Students hunt for problems in their own life, and find out the difference between a complaint and an idea.
Invent the fix
They pick one problem, work out who else has it, and invent something that would solve it. Then they name it.
Pitch it out loud
Everybody presents their idea to the group before the end. Short, low pressure, and the part they remember.
