Assignment 3A: Entrepreneurship Story

There have been many occasions where I have found myself exposed to entrepreneurship, one experience is when I took "Creativity In Action" course here at UF. I was required to take this course for my Innovation minor. This course required me to be in a group where we all worked together to invent a prototype for a specific issue. Our issue was how to improve emotional intelligence in childhood development. Together we proposed an idea of a watch that detects pulse rates on children and emits soothing sounds that relieve the child.
We called our prototype "The Mellow Way", as a group we all were assigned different roles in order to successfully make the invention. We thought how might we improve emotional intelligence of a child's ability to identify, evaluate, control and express emotion in childhood development. Once the prototype was made and we had each component, we developed a pitch to present to multiple potential consumers at a event called "Catalyst".
We made our prototype using 3D modeling and Arduino kits. These elements are what made our product stand out in the event. The 3D printing involved sketches of an animal and the base of a watch to show how our product would work. Our group used the Arduino to code a system using a pulse rate detector and a small speaker to play a song proven to reduce stress levels.
I chose to enroll in ENT3003 because it seemed similar to the courses I was required to take for my Innovation major. I am constantly surrounded by exposure to entrepreneurship and I felt that this course will help me succeed in my major and my life outside of college.
