Join Venture Lab on Wednesday, September 20th at 4pm in Tangen Hall Room 706 for the second workshop in the Climate Change & the Future of Food Salon Sprint week. The Theory of Change Workshop encourages students to iterate their potential business solution's social impact. This workshop will help social entrepreneurs develop the core of the business, and the company’s product or service, that will generate revenue and impact.

Theory of Change is the second workshop in the week-long Climate Change and the Future of Food Salon Sprint. During this Salon Sprint, students will be encouraged to identify impactful business solutions to the challenges facing the food system, and through these workshops (Design Thinking, Theory of Change, and Social Entrepreneurship Business Models), students will iterate their ideas and prepare to pitch their solution on Friday, September 22nd for a chance at $500.

At least 1 member of each venture team that aspires to pitch must participate in each of the Sprint workshops, and have attended the Salon.
