Overview
The programme, which will last for 4 months (16th of February - 28th of June 2024), will be taught in English. The Programme awards 15 University educational credits (CFU/ECTS) and a final evaluation from 0 to 30. The experience gained will be recognised in the diploma supplement and may also count towards the accrual of credits, depending on the evaluation of the degree programme board of the participant requesting it, and subject to certification of the experience gained, issued by Ufficio Master.The Programme’s learning outcomes are the following: the course aims to shape the students’ entrepreneurial mindset, especially regarding technology-driven entrepreneurship. The course’s objective is to help students to develop: (1) the ability to identify and evaluate technology opportunities with a societal impact; (2) the ability to empathize with their users, their ecosystem, and their needs; (3) the ability to ideate, evaluate and improve solutions that address the identified needs, with global and local relevance; (4) the ability to organize and implement entrepreneurial actions. In order to achieve those learning outcomes, CBI.ATTRACT is designed as a project-based course structured on design thinking principles, such as human-centredness, tackling ill-formulated challenges, building knowledge through making and through iteration, and learning collectively instead of individually. The Design Thinking process has been hybridized with tech-driven innovation tools to enable the students to gain a deep understanding of their users’ needs and exploit the technology’s potential of Attract projects through a “tech ability-societal need” match.
