Agronómico Salesiano in Paute hosted the 6th edition of the entrepreneurship camp titled "reCRÉATE" on the 13th and 14th of January. This camp provides students the skills needed to become entrepreneurs. It is organized by the university's Coworking StarUPS office and the research department.

 

In this edition 59 students from 18 undergraduate programs attended the talks and workshops that were an introduction to entrepreneurship. The topics were:

 

- The profile of an entrepreneur

 

- Risk taking

 

- Challenges in the world

 

- Delivering a pitch

 

Before ending the event, students presented 10 projects that were the result of the camp; first place was for the project "POWER GPS", a device that is able to track down bicycles through a chip with GSM technology which is connected to a digital platform so the user will have information in real time.

 

During this event, they also held a graduation ceremony for the first graduates of the Mentoring and Change Management School, whose aim is to develop the skills students need to direct the coworking offices.

 

The camp consisted in three modules with 20 hours each: personal and emotional competences; entrepreneurship skills; planning of coworking offices and design of mini boot camps. The 32 students who successfully completed the process obtained a certificate in Mentoring and Change Management.

 

The University calls on the student community to be part of future meetings of entrepreneurs.
