Microwavezzz

1)  Your beginning point.  I believe that people would benefit from having silent microwaves. 2)  Describe your belief.  People who live with others, especially college students, often tip toe around their house or apartment when others are asleep. This becomes more difficult when it comes to making or microwaving food when someone gets hungry in the middle of the night. A microwave with silent capabilities would be beneficial in preventing conflict and ensuring happiness within homes. 3)  Identify the prototypical customer.  Individuals with roommates. 4)  Iteration No. 1 Name: Brynn Price Do you live with anyone else?

Wormy

My instances of entrepreneurship have occurred by happenstance. I have always loved arts & crafts and when making key chains, necklaces, and posters, people have always asked for their own. Since about second grade, I have made a small profit off of my designs and most recently, people are entranced with my worm earrings. This toy from my childhood was easily fashioned into earrings by buying both the worms and the hooks in bulk and attaching them via string. Quite frankly, I am here because I am part of the Innovation Academy, but I would love to learn more about the skills and knowledge that an entrepreneur possesses. While I do not plan to be a business owner or a tech mogul, I hope to embody the skills they are associated with-- resilience, strategic thinking, creativity, and leadership. In my future, I am considering nonprofit work where these skills are invaluable in making the world a better place.

1. When arriving at the bus stop on time and the bus is not there, I am unsure if it came early or its simply late. It would be helpful if my maps app kept track of this. 2. I have a hard time utilizing all the space in my bookshelves because the books are of different heights and each shelf is relatively tall. 3. When I have clothes that they are not clean but are not dirty, they simply pile up on the bed instead of going in the drawers or hamper. How can I organize this better? 4. When I drop my friend off at the Publix on 13th and University, there is nowhere I can wait for them to finish and instead have to drive around a tiny and crowded parking lot. 5. I would like to rent and watch movies from Library West's DVD collection but I do not have a DVD player. 6. My vacuum isn't working and the tiny hole punch papers are on my carpet and I can't pick them up unless I do it individually. 7. The course reserves on Canvas won't work for me and my professor told me...
