These are some entrepreneurial ideas some young people have developed:
Hiccups. Everyone gets them, and everyone hates them. They have perplexed mankind for millennia, and stopping them was thought to be impossible:

Warm up
What is this video about?
What's the moral?
Project introduction
Today we are going to speak about what a project could be and how it could look like. Take a look at the video and then answer some questions:
1. What is the video about?
a. It is about a research report
b. It is about a crazy story Google has invented
c. It is about a good argumentation Google has to sell its idea
d. It is about a project proposal Google is carrying out
2. According to the video, we can say that the structure used to express the message is:
a. Problem-solution
b. Cause-effect
c. Thesis-arguments
3. Identify what are the constrains and solutions mentioned in the video
Constrains

Clues:
- Electric bills
-solar energy
-solar panels
-To use Google maps to show how much sunlight falls on a roof
-It could show you how much solar power you can generate and how much you could save
-A lot of things to figure out: how many panels do you need? Who’s gonna install them? How much would you actually save? How do you tell if your house even gets enough sun?
First video
ResponderEliminar- What is this video about? the video is about the importance of the teamwork
- What's the moral? it's smarter to travel in groups
Second video
- What is the video about? It is about a project proposal Google is carrying out
- According to the video, we can say that the structure used to express the message is Problem-solution
- constrains : the electric bills , the installation of the solar panels, A lot of things to figure out
Solutions : the solar energy is cheaper, a map show you how much solar power you can generate and how much you could save.
ResponderEliminarAmong the ideas I saw in the videos the one I like the most was Boyan’s ocean platforms,
for it aims to clean sea waters by using the ocean itself through it’s currents. I believe this idea is the one that can have the biggest impact in our planet because waters cover up to 70% of its surface, therefore by cleaning waters we can drastically our planet’s overall pollution.
Project
Pollution in Medellin has reached critical points and has created the so called atmospheric contingency and has also increase the number of lung illness cases among the population. Therefore I propose to install air cleaning devices around the city focus in the most polluted areas. The devices would have a tubular form and would work by using solar powered turbines to suck up the polluted air around it, filtering it and then releasing a cleaner air into the environment, while the smallest particles which are the most dangerous for human health, would be trapped inside the devices.
i was interesting in both videos, the first video is important to me because i have a uncle, he is sick of epilepsy and the sensor is a good idea to control the move of my uncle, the second video is a creative idea and is important the reduction of pollution in the ocean.
ResponderEliminarProject
The education in the schools in Medellin , i think the education in the school in medellin is a problem because does not encourage students to do what they like, the education in Medellin (in general in Colombia) is very rote, is focused on generating workers rather than entrepreneurs, my idea is create a program accessible from any device in which the students, in a first step the student make a interactive test and the system determines the strengths and the weaknesses then the system focuses on improving the weaknesses through the strengths in an interactive manner determined by the student.
I think the two videos are quite important, I have relatives who have the disease yet. I fully support the idea of cleaning the oceans
ResponderEliminarProject
I LIKE THE IDEA OF Jhon Murillo. I support your project because one of my ideas as a mathematician is to work in primary and secondary, for love of mathematics, because this is considered a not very nice stuff for students.
TED is the most interesting, even if is a simple idea it is usesfull and make easy to care peope that have desses an it could be used in hospitals and at home.
ResponderEliminarproject:
i want to solve the noise pollution and headphones exposicion consecuences, but i am in agree with yuliss idea-
I said ted but i it was the sensors priject
EliminarThe most interesting entrepreneurial idea for us was the sensor invented by Kenneth, because it is an innovative and effective idea to take care of the people with Alzheimer's disease.
ResponderEliminarOur idea is to reduce the concentration of CO2 and MP in the air, which causes serious illnesses. The idea is an air bioremediation device located in the industrial chimneys. This device could help reduce the damage that this type of gas and particles cause to the entire planet.

1. The three ideas are very interesting. But I incline for the idea from the guy who pretend clean the entire ocean because is something that the world really needs in this era of too much pollution and garbage.
ResponderEliminar2.
I have noticed that many of my colleagues can not rest comfortably at the university in their free time, especially after lunch. There are many studies that confirm the importance to take a nap to day to improve overall performance and health. Therefore, I consider that is possible put public hammocks in the campus, thinking about providing a better break for the students.
1. What is the most appealing or interesting entrepreneurial idea for you? why?
ResponderEliminarThe Boyan's idea the most interesting entrepreneurial idea for me, because the marine life is very important and we eat fish and if they are poisoned, so we are too.
2. What is your project idea for this course? have you ever thought of a possible solution for a problem that you have seen in your context?
I have seen a lot of problems but the solutions are conventional, I have not thought about entrepreneurial ideas for those problems.
1-The Boyan Slat was the most interesting project to me, because is the most profitable way to clean the ocean in this time. Also is a creative form to help the planet to the more critical problem currently, the pollution. Another advantage is the possibility to recycle the plastic and sell this for its reuse
ResponderEliminar2-Project
I saw a common problem in the University, this problem is the confuse communication between the college and the students some times. I purpose to create a social networking service that contains every course in the college and someone student can access to the courses he has enrolled from his smartphone or any device else. The student can watch the activities, test dates, working resources and some special new event from the next classes. This information would be uploaded by the teachers from each course. In general I know that the application can be a great help to the students with a lot of things to do, because this way, they can organize better their activities. This application would be a great tool to all University community because it will help to obtain clear and concise information from everyone.
Project: currently, in the country there are a great amount of dogs and cats abandoned, and this the number increases each day more, them shelter of the country are all full, and although there are many campaigns to adopt, not is a solution for this problem of abandonment, so I would like to create a law where is you obligate to them owners and to them breeding of dogs and cats , implement a chip of recognition, for so avoid that leave to them dogs and beyond a control, imposing sanctions, fines and up to the prison.
ResponderEliminarMy favorite entrepreneurial idea is to clean the oceans because the garbage is killing many animals and plants. We need to have cleaner oceans...
ResponderEliminarMy entrepreneurial idea is to invent a plants watering system which knows when the plants need water and automatically watering them. In this way we'll save water because the technology allows us to reduce the water amount that a human would use.
Clean the ocean is the most interesting idea for me because this idea solves an important social issues.
ResponderEliminarIt is a way to save the planet of the pollution and also the marine life.
For me, the most interesting idea is of Kenneth Shinozuka, because for me, the oldest people dont have enough atencion from the innovative people, the old people have few oportinity to get a quiet old age, so for me is admirable tha this young men do.
ResponderEliminarPROJECT:
The loneliness in people to the third age are one of the biggest enemies to the wellness of our seniors, as they quality of live do not depends just to a good physical conditions, it depends too to a good emotional condition. With the modernity we have achieve big steps in a lot of aspects, but we have too a warming values crisis. My intention is to encourage the people that participate more actively in the live to the old people of their family, or maybe to their community, is easy, but that help them to have a better and more quite old age.
1. The most interesting entrepreneurial for me is the teenager with the project of his grandfather because he want help with his illness and is a beautiful gesture and is a project very good that could help the people.
ResponderEliminar2. My project idea for this course is contribute with the solution of environmental problems and choose to go by the part of recycling in the university for a higher control with the waste generated for the students, create a plan of recycling for create conscience between the students and these waste properly deposit. Also this project could be a possible solution for the problem recycling.
the business idea more attractive to my was the clean Ocean because apart from being innovative it is attractive for large companies and may have increased fundingby the private company
ResponderEliminarPROJECT:
I would like to do something with them debris that leaves it construction, give you agreater utility not only go it to pull to a dump but find it way of reuse it
Good Night for All!
ResponderEliminarI´m Laura Hernández
My favorite idea was Kenneth Shinozuka project. I think that we have to care more about the people who live with us, and as young people try to improve our environment and make life easier for everyone.
Nobody wants to get away from his family and run out of his house because of an addiction. I like to create a project that allows young people like me, work whit homeless people; integrate and articulate them back to society through education and academia.
