Technopreneurship First Discussion


We have nine dots above. Now my task to you is to connect the five dots using your finger in just four lines without lifting your finger. If you accomplish it you can continue reading.

If you answered the problem above then you certainly are an open-minded person. You are a person who thinks outside of the box. You think things that surpass the usual way of how people think. This is what a technopreneur must comprise.

Last July 18 we had our first discussion in our technopreneurship class, we discussed why it is important to discuss technopreneurship in the academes. We also tackled the common mentality of students nowadays: Study hard; Get good grades; then be employed in a job. But this is not what technoprenuership is all about. It is about changing the mentality of the students from the previous mentality to Study hard; Get good grades; then start a business. In other words, the goal of this class is to bring out the businessman or technopreneur, to be exact, out of us. The curriculum tends to make us the employers and not the employees. The ICT organizations here in Davao are making ways of improving the IT industry of Davao. We already have an incubator in Brokenshire College of Davao and future IT parks in Abreeza Mall and SM.

The first step of the “SEED” curriculum is “S” which stands for Self Mastery. This lesson includes on how prepared we are, the students, based on our personality and emotion if we have what it takes to become future technopreneurs. I already passed my personality test that was given by our adviser but the purpose was not really to asses our current result but to compare the results of our current test with the result of the test that will be given to us on the last part of the semester. The continuation of the first lesson will be on my next blog :) ciao!
