22. Education That Engages and Transforms eVenture Student Comments “I have been to other programs where I learned about entrepreneurship, but this experience was completely different because we had to figure everything out in our own way.” “Combining engaging hands-on activities within a fun environment was an extremely effective way to learn the ins and outs of business and entrepreneurship.” “You come to realize that ‘limits’ are only what you set them to be.” “You learn about successes and failures, and that you have to keep going.” “I came for an interesting class, but afterward I realized that we were actually going to do something I never thought I could do.” © 2011 Charter Partners Institute
