• Inquiry-Based Learning: Encourages Bosses to brainstorm, experiment, and iterate on ideas while exploring entrepreneurial concepts​​.
• Reflection and Assessment: Regular opportunities for self-reflection and peer feedback help deepen understanding and enhance problem-solving skills​​.
• Collaborative Work: Bosses engage in teamwork to achieve shared goals, simulating the real-life dynamics of entrepreneurship.
• Buck Institute for Education (BIE): Aligns with gold-standard PBL frameworks, including sustained inquiry, public product creation, and authentic engagement.

 Entrepreneurial Education

• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Focuses on resilience, adaptability, and opportunity recognition, as identified by the Kauffman Foundation for Entrepreneurship Education​​.
