Getting Started: Classes and Berlin!
After finishing our various orientation sessions and finally getting over jetlag (mostly), classes started up on Tuesday, July 9. Students were introduced to various aspects of entrepreneurship and startup cultures and had a chance to get competitive with the Marshmallow Challenge.



On our third full day in Berlin we finally had a chance to go out and explore some of the quintessential sites of Berlin. In addition to seeing the famous Brandenburg Gate, students visited memorials, beautiful buildings, and encountered interesting and strange facts about our temporary home.



The next few days will continue to be full and exciting, as we look forward to entrepreneurship-related excursions, a first foray into market research, and a weekend trip to Görlitz (on the eastern border). New friends are being made, new food is being eaten, and new cultures are being encountered!
