On the 6th July 2016, a group of academics from across the country descended upon Warwick Castle. Like the group of rebels led by Simon de Montfort that came in 1264, these rebellious educators were united by a cause; to create a generation of graduate entrepreneurs through Enterprise Education. So, with fewer swords, and a few more pens, Dr Rana Tassabehji and Dr Caroline Parkinson from the University of Bradford School of Management got proceedings underway.

There were presenters from:

  • University of Worcester
  • London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London
  • Henley Business School, University of Reading
  • Bradford Management School
  • University of Birmingham

Each in turn described how they had used crowdfunding, or crowdfunding simulations in the classroom, the effect on teaching and learning, the difficulties that it posed and the learning that could be taken from it. To find out more, each experience is summarised in a Case Study in our White Paper available at http://crowdfundcampus.com/white-paper

Finally we presented our plans for Sandpit Version 2, and got some really valuable feedback ahead of next academic year. For more information go to http://crowdfundcampus.com/sandpit

For us, it was a delight to have brought this group together and this is something we will aim to do every year, with one of our partner Universities. With some hard work and a bit of luck, Crowdfunding in the Curriculum 2017 will be twice as big and four times as valuable.

Finally, a massive thank you to all those who trekked across the country for this event and an apology that I did not take more photos.

Venue: HEEG Annual Conference, Kingston University

For the final plenary of the HEEG Annual Conference, Crowdfund Campus invite you to a short TED-style talk on the End of Business Planning in Enterprise Education, and the need for students and staff to move out of their comfort zones, encourage interaction with customers and experience failure.

In case this wasn’t a big enough incentive to stay to the end, we invite you to join us for a drinks reception and a few bottles of bubbly to celebrate the launch of ‘Sandpit’, a new crowdfunding simulator. Already piloted in 5 Universities and in UG and PG modules ranging from entrepreneurship to fashion to sport, the ‘Sandpit’ is a great way to bring technology into the classroom, conduct peer review and inject enterprise into the curriculum.

Since January 2016, Crowdfund Campus has been working with 5 Universities to apply crowdfunding into the curriculum, in addition to extra-curricula fundraising on a wider scale. Educators have used a real platform and a virtual one, and applied it to UG and PG modules and across faculties from Entrepreneurship to Fashion to Sport.
In this white paper, we present 5 Case Studies from the following Universities:
  • Birmingham
  • Bradford
  • Henley Business School
  • London College of Fashion
  • Worcester
This paper will discuss how and why crowdfunding was implemented into the modules, how it was assessed, what were the results and what was learned.
