Entrepreneurship is much broader than the creation of a new business venture. At its core, it is a mindset—a way of thinking and acting. It is about imagining new ways to solve problems and create value. Fundamentally, entrepreneurship is about opportunity, and Pace’s eLab is offering up several of them for you to dive into entrepreneurship!

Check out these upcoming events to network with industry successfuls, bring a mobile app to life, and pitch your big idea!

Pace Mobile App Design Contest 5.0/Hackathon
Friday, March 24 | 9:30 a.m.–8:00 p.m. | 163 William Street, Room 344
Got an idea for a mobile app? Come learn basic design concepts and form a multidisciplinary team to bring your idea to life. Use any tool, scripting, or programming language to create your concept, and demonstrate it to a panel of expert judges for a chance to win up to $500. Programming knowledge is not required! Based on the popular hackathon, the Pace Mobile App Design Contest brings participants together to form teams to create a concept mobile application using any tool (e.g., Proto.io) or a scripting/programming language (e.g., HTML5) and demonstrate it to the audience and the judging panel. Prizes are awarded based on judges' expert opinion. Get more information and register.
