About the Event

 

The Lean Launchpad pedagogy has revolutionized entrepreneurship education. Since its start over a decade ago by Steve Blank at Stanford University, Lean education has flourished and is now used in I-Corps (including NSF, NIH, DOE), Hacking for Defense (DoD) and many other university courses both in the US and around the world. In December 2019, we gathered in Palo Alto for the first time as a group of educators to explore the impact ten years of Lean education has had in our classrooms and beyond.

Since this first summit, the world has changed. The global pandemic has presented challenges to the way we teach. It has also allowed for new innovations and opportunities for Lean Launchpad education.  So, what have we—the leaders of Lean Launchpad education—learned since December 2019?

Join Steve Blank, Pete Newell, Jerry Engel and Steve Weinstein in December 2020 to discuss, learn and share best practices on Lean Launchpad education during the era of COVID-19.
