With the support provided by a Physical Sciences Centre Development Project we have developed a self-contained 3-hour seminar activity that explores entrepreneurship and creativity. The seminar is aimed at first year undergraduate physicists. The seminar introduces the concepts of entrepreneurship, has some short warm-up activities and is followed by the main business game. Teams are required to give a presentation of their outcomes at the end. All participants vote on the best proposal. Resources including PowerPoint files and handouts are included in the project resource pack.
