not just about being “bigger”. After some re ection, these are my top three insights into the WHY:
WE ARE CHANGING EDUCATION: We are literally and fundamentally changing education. D

behaviors, judgements, and broader capabilities in students so that they can actually be innovat
and effective. We teach students “how to learn directly from the world, without a guidebook” a
they have never seen before.”
OUR STUDENTS CHANGE THE WORLD: Our students actually change the world. They start n
new innovations as leaders within the world’s most cutting-edge companies. Our students crea
new airplane wings, and lead world-changing projects at Apple, Google, Yahoo, Samsung and ot
companies.

Many News Stories
about our Curriculum
About 7 stories about our plant based meat focus
area including Vice Magazine and SF Chronicle
Most UC Berkeley students will tell you that they’re shooting for an A. But the 45
young men and women packing a Barrows Hall classroom this Monday were
pursuing more ambitious goals: saving the world, and perhaps winning $5,000 in
the process.
The students are enrolled in a four-credit Challenge Lab at the Sutardja Center for
Entrepreneurship & Technology, a practicum that pits teams against one another
to develop the most innovative plant-based meat.

What is Next: Our Emerging Industry Area Labs
8/19/2017 Reflecting on “Why” for UC Berkeley’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology - UC Berkele
Our Recipe and How It Works:
Mindset and Behavior:
A key educational training is the area of mindsets and behaviors. This area is not obvious. When we began, we believed
that it was valuable to start with technical students and simply add an understanding of business knowledge to their
curriculum. Since then, we have corrected that belief. We no longer believe business training is the key additive
ingredient. Mechanical business skills can be acquired anytime and as needed. The actual missing ingredient is a set of
behaviors and mindsets that allow a person to utilize their core capabilities.
