The Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University transforms students into experienced entrepreneurs. Part of the greater Entrepreneurship at ASU initiative that was awarded $5 million from the Kauffman Foundation to create a Kauffman Campus in 2006, the Knight lab immerses interdisciplinary students in a rigorous lab instruction environment and equips them with the latest digital media tools. After learning the core concepts of entrepreneurship by industry veterans, students create innovative digital media products. Throughout the process, they are mentored by Knight Center Director Dan Gillmor and Entrepreneur-in-Residence CJ Cornell, winners of the 2010 ASU President’s Award for Innovation. The instructors take a hands-on, experiential approach to teaching entrepreneurship, focusing not on helping students start small businesses, but on imparting the principles of Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurship: the development of high-growth, rapid concept-to-market, scalable digital media ventures. This will be added to Entrepreneurial Resources Subject Tracer™.
