University of Delaware—Entrex Lab
The University of Delaware’s nationally recognized and award winning Horn Entrepreneurship team developed the EntreX Lab™ dual enrollment program to equip high school students to thrive amidst rapid change by cultivating agile thinking and developing creative problem solving skillsets.
EntreX (offered at Immaculata as "Entrepreneurship") is a unique course that equips students to thrive amidst rapid change by cultivating agile thinking and developing creative problem-solving skill-sets through hands-on experiences. Through immersive learning opportunities, students will work through the evidence-based entrepreneurship process by pursuing a novel idea for a new business or social venture. Throughout the course, the students will develop these novel ideas and develop formal written concepts and professional pitch decks. They will also have the opportunity to present their concepts and earn a spot in regional and national Diamond Challenge competitions. By the end of the course, students will showcase their ability to handle university-level coursework as well as gain a competitive edge for internships and future employment by acquiring direct experience in innovation and value creation. After successful completion of the course, students that earn a grade of a C or higher will earn 3 college credits. Students can then request an official transcript through the University’s registrar’s office.
