Entrepreneurship: Making Swag (Q1)

Entrepreneurship cohorts are members-only, mentoring-style groups focused on turning ideas into tangible products or services. Participants explore design, prototyping, materials, and production workflows while collaborating with mentors and other makers.

These cohorts emphasize experimentation, iteration, and practical decision-making. Rather than a fixed curriculum, learning is driven by real project needs and shared exploration.

What to expect:

• Mentoring and peer collaboration around ideas and designs
• Exploration of tools and production workflows
• Discussion of materials, costs, and tradeoffs
• Iteration from concept to prototype

Participants should expect to cover the cost of materials used for their individual projects.
