What happens when design and business students from two of the leading schools聽in Canada, Emily Carr and Simon Fraser University,聽are placed in the same聽classroom?聽The result is #platFORMclass, a six-week long collaborative product development class, meant聽to revamp the established model of business and entrepreneurship.
From August 15 to the 21, students will move their ideas from the safety of the classroom into the real world, pitching newly-designed products and businesses to the聽public at 434 Columbia St.
This summer, students were assigned to develop products, services, and systems that聽address contemporary social, economic, and environmental issues with the goal of聽turning the projects into start-ups.聽The Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University and the Social + Interactive聽Media (SIM) Centre at Emily Carr recognize the role that institutionalized education can聽play in providing a platform for students to pursue innovative ideas and concepts. This聽way, rather than maintain the status quo, schools and their students can challenge the聽norm while offering alternatives.
Visit the next generation of future leaders by stopping by 聽Chinatown Experiment聽to see, hear, ask and discuss.
Opening night is this Friday, August 15. Register to attend opening night pitches聽聽(free). The storefront will be open all week for "The 1 Sale".
Hours: Fri 6pm - 10pm, Sat & Sun 11am - 9pm, Mon - Thurs 12pm - 8pm
