"Introduction to Business" Course
Students were given modules throughout the semester to gauge whether their own respective, hypothetical coffee shops were thriving.
The RIDE Center helped groups bring their own brands to life, with everything from 3D printed table decor to personalized stickers, to-go sleeves, and embroidered clothing with original logos.
Students utilized AI technology to generate the logos for their own businesses, learning how to refine their prompts and information to match their respective aesthetics.
Various equipment and tools were utilized in the RIDE Center, including 3D printers, rapid prototyping/design tools, Cricut smart cutting machines, and sewing/embroidery machines.
