MIT Global Startup Labs

Global Startup Labs Mongolia was a technology-based entrepreneurship course in Ulaanbaatar for high school and university students, which was collaboratively taught among three MIT graduate students. During the 10-week course to create mobile application startups, James led content on problem and asset identification, user engagement, interview strategies, survey design, branding strategies, and user-interface design.

Faced with a difficult language barrier, the approach to teaching and communicating changed each day as the student’s needs shifted. A curriculum that was previously taught predominately through lectures was quickly transformed to interactive games, hands-on design activities, rapid prototyping sessions, and one-on-one conversations in order to guide the students with more engaging forms of interaction.
