These are some entrepreneurial ideas some young people have developed:
Hiccups. Everyone gets them, and everyone hates them. They have perplexed mankind for millennia, and stopping them was thought to be impossible:

Clues:
- Electric bills
-solar energy
-solar panels
-To use Google maps to show how much sunlight falls on a roof
-It could show you how much solar power you can generate and how much you could save
-A lot of things to figure out: how many panels do you need? Who’s gonna install them? How much would you actually save? How do you tell if your house even gets enough sun?
1. What is the most appealing or interesting entrepreneurial idea for you? why?
ResponderEliminarThe most interesting idea for me is the sensor for the heel by Kenneth Shinozuka, because for me is very important use the technology to help persons sick that they don't have medicines and treatments to feel best.
2. What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
My project idea for his course is reuse the construction's waste. Really I never thought a possible solution for a problem.
my project idea is to find a way to remove the plastic from our lives creating biodegradabes alternative materials that fulfill the same functions as the plastic but not pollute much as it does this.
ResponderEliminar1. What is the most appealing or interesting entrepreneurial idea for you? why?
ResponderEliminarThe business idea that found most interesting was that of Kenneth Shinozuka, helping his grandfather who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. therefore Kenneth Shinozuka created a pressure sensor to detect whenever his grandfather got up at night and so prevent accidents occur at night while others slept. Such devices are very interesting and useful because they help families of people suffering from these diseases, to have more peace of mind because they can monitor more closely the sick, and so avoid hurting themselves
2. What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
I propose the idea for this course is the creation of an interactive mobile app to reinforce learning a subject in school mathematics, which have a high dropout rate in college.
This is because a common problem I've seen in college, is the high dropout rate of school subjects of mathematics, it generates a high level desertion or repetition.
I believe therefore that a possible solution would be to create a mobile application that facilitates the transmission of knowledge and also encourage the daily practice of the subject and to that extent there is a greater learning this.
1)I think that the most interesting entrepreneurial idea is the project to clean the ocean, because this project can take a big help with many problems in the ocean, like the life of many maritime species and the contamination that is generate, and I consider that is very ingenius use the oceans currents to can collect the plastic, because this allow that the cost and the work can be reduce in a noticeable way.
ResponderEliminar2)My project idea is to improve the use in the public transport, reforming many things relationated with the bus stations and the quantity of those, and of this way can get a best movility in the general transport in the city, and that the users of public transport can reduce the time that they employ traveling in the city.
What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
ResponderEliminarMy project idea for this course is how to save the water that it get lost when you are washing your teeth to use it in any other activities like emptying the bath,etc.
I live in Apartado-Antioquia and there, the main economical activity is to export banana abroad,to make this happend the banana has to cross by a careful process and one of them is to clean it very well.To carry out washing of bananas, lots of water is lost,so my idea was to create a saving sysytem of water to be a able to tell the operators how much water do they need to make the process in the best way and saving as many water as it can.
I think that the most interesting idea is the system created for Kenneth Shinozuka, because is a innovative idea which can help sick people of Alzheimer.
ResponderEliminarI think that the most important for a change in our environment is the education, so my project idea is a good education program to teach the people the strategies that can be implement to protect the environment. Like, a sustainable garden, solar panels, how reuse the water, etc.
- What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
ResponderEliminarMy project idea is to create a Curiosity Store of Handcrafts, this proyect aims to recover tradicional techniques and recicle old things to make artistic objects.
This entrepreneurial project aims to integrate unemployed artists and craftsmen for creating artistic pieces made of recovered materials, in this way contribute to generate a self-sustaining economy and help with the recycling of deserted objects as a solution of trash accumulation.
1. What is the most appealing or interesting entrepreneurial idea for you? why?
ResponderEliminarThe most entrepreneurial idea for me is the invention to save the world's ocean, because it make us take awareness the critical situation in undersea environment, but the sense with this argument is that the industry, business take awareness and they feel need to improve their methodologies thinking in the undersea environment. The other point, is that the plastic pollution is a chain and it can come to being human and it produce the death.
2. What is your project idea for this course?
The project is to improve the transportation in Medellin city, but at the moment we haven´t thought in the solution.
1. What is the most appealing or interesting entrepreneurial idea for you? why?
ResponderEliminarI think that the most interesting entrepreneurial idea is the "multilevel trawl", because with this the entrepreneur wants to remove the plastic with platforms that take advantage of oceanic currents for get all it, clean the ocean surface and make money with the plastics retrieved.
2. What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
I have thought to design a new breakwater for protect the beaches from coastal erosion.
