This module aims to go further into the lean startup than students have done in previous modules. It introduces three key features from the lean startup: the minimum viable product, the Build-Measure-Learn loop, and pivots. These three techniques are integral in the lean startup methodology, which focuses on minimizing risk, failing fast, and using the minimum amount of resources, time and funding.

04. Market Research And Market Analysis, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
This module introduces students to the basics of market research and consumer analysis. Students will learn about credible primary and secondary data collection methods necessary to conduct in-depth research on their target audience. This module also explores the methods of analyzing customer behavior as well as customer insight to better understand the needs of a certain target audience.
07. Business Structure And Scaling, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
07. Business Structure And Scaling, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
This module causes students to further expand upon their product/service by exploring different types of business structures (non-profit vs not-for-profit vs for-profit) and the five stages of scaling their business after its initial implementation. These skills are vital for the students to be able to adequately plan for their businesses.
06. Mvp Development / Market Competition, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
06. Mvp Development / Market Competition, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
The goal of this module is to emphasize how to develop an MVP through market validation and research. Students will learn concepts regarding market validation that will help them when they are developing their own MVPs. In addition, they will learn how to develop a unique MVP for their niche audience. By the end of the module, students should be able to start ideating and developing their own MVP.

04. Dead Aid & Theory Of Change, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
04. Dead Aid & Theory Of Change, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
The theory of change method is designed to bridge the gap between the initiation of an effort and the solution. Using the Theory of Change model, students will be able to find a long-term goal for their macro-problem and work backward to find an entry-point where an intervention is required. Groups will ultimately finalize their pain-point, target audience, and a more specific area of research. In addition, understanding dead aid is necessary for creating a successful product. A solution falls under dead aid when it doesn’t consider its target audience enough or dives deep enough into a pain point, resulting …

07. Pitching And Sustainability, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
It’s important to look at how a venture affects the world around it; ventures don’t exist in their own universe, after all! This module intends to go in-depth as to what metrics a social venture should look at in order to gauge how sustainable its practices are, both externally — with respect to its environment — and internally, with respect to its funding cycle. It will also help students become more comfortable with pitching their ideas, speaking off the cuff, and being creative!
02. Target Audience And Pain Point, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
02. Target Audience And Pain Point, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
SocEnt
This module will introduce students to the first key part of design thinking: understanding the problem. Understanding the problem encompasses having a clearly defined target audience and a well-researched pain point. They’ll find out how to dig deep into a problem to find the causes and issues surrounding it, rather than just settling with problems at face-value. They will also be able to apply those concepts on a local level and develop the beginnings of an SEV by working with these ideas.
