Be Your Own Boss: Innovation Olympics

Bulldog Entrepreneurs holds the Be Your Own Boss Innovation Olympics to create awareness about entrepreneurship and innovation. This event gives students the opportunity to network with other like-minded individuals on campus as well as in the community. Entrepreneurs host game tables and talk about their entrepreneurial experiences and then play innovation based games with students. These games challenge students to think outside the box in analytical thinking and problem solving. Not only must students solve problems individually, they must also work in collaboration with other students to achieve the same goal. So students compete individually and collectively to increase their chances at winning the prizes.

The inaugural Innovation Olympics was held on April 28, 2010. This event featured a series of games connected to entrepreneurship and innovation, and opportunities to visit with real life entrepreneurs. At the close of the event, Bulldog Entrepreneurs awarded hundreds of dollars in prizes to students including a Nintendo Wii and a Playstation 3.

Bulldog Entrepreneurs looks to host two Innovation Olympics events each academic year. They have already hosted their first one for the 2010-2011 year on October 7, 2010. This event focused on generating innovative ideas and served as a kickoff for the countdown to the TOP DAWG Idea Pitch. Once again students competed for prizes and had the chance to hear about the exciting upcoming events hosted by the Bulldog Entrepreneurs.
