Inspire, Inform & Involve. The Ice House Entrepreneurship Program is a revolutionary new learning program designed to inspire and engage participants in the fundamental concepts of an entrepreneurial mindset and the unlimited opportunities it can provide.
This highly interactive program enables participants to learn directly from the firsthand experience of successful real-world entrepreneurs. The overall objective is to empower learners through entrepreneurial thinking and immerse them in entrepreneurial experiences that will enable them to develop entrepreneurial skills.
Drawing on the entrepreneurial life lessons described in the book, the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program combines narrated chalkboard style presentations with video interviews and case studies featuring modern-day examples of entrepreneurs who have triumphed over adversity by embracing an entrepreneurial mindset. In addition to the narrated chalkboard presentations, each lesson includes individual learning assessments, discussion topics, and assignments that are designed to maximize comprehension while encouraging real-world application of the core concepts.
The Kansas Ice House Course consists of 8 weekly sessions of two hours each. Each participant receives a copy of the book, Who Owns the Ice House, a course workbook, and a license to complete course work.
