Shift Group (SG) developed the first, highly innovative game, Genesis, to be used to help teach entrepreneurship, using the course Sustainable Entrepreneur Training (SET) for new business ideas. Additionally, the SET course innovates the combination of live, Online courses and a Course Pack for teaching, integrating sustainability, collaboration, and iterative learning.
SG’s core principle is to teach students with new business ideas that effective entrepreneurship requires using sustainable business practices, for all businesses. And to implement sustainable business ideas effectively and profitably requires engagement, feedback, and courage. To maximize the impact of this principle, the course is designed to have a strong purpose and be fun.
Work with each other and get feedback from the professor to guide you in using the course materials to build your business, which will include a short video presentation you will submit at the end.
Entrepreneur’s Manual — your personal workbook to evolve your business idea into action items. It is purposely lean and designed to have you revisit key concepts as you go through the course. It is digital and includes 26 sample readings, two for each of the 13 classes.
Genesis — an online game that is used as an online textbook. Instead of reading about entrepreneurship principles, you play the game to learn about them. Each Level of Genesis co-insides with the SET/Genesis course. For example, Level 1 is for Class #1, Level 2 is for Class #2, and so on. There are 13 Levels in Genesis.
