[[CategoryThe motivation of create@cooper, according to Sharang, is to expand students at Cooper Union from course work to the real entrepreneurial adventure. He and his fellows have many hands-on project experiences but few continue to push their work, and most students focus on their own work. Sharang and his team felt necessary to “connect the dot”. Create@cooper has four parts:Guides]]create and tell, community workshops, creator stories and journeys to creation. Faculties as well as many local entrepreneurs have been very supportive to create@cooper. The team reached three startups for sponsorship with all said yes. Due to the size of Cooper Union and Sharang is a senior this year, the team is still looking for new leadership. Similar to the I2V workshop at Cooper Union, create@cooper incorporated the technological flavor of Cooper Union and engaged the local community of New York City. The entrepreneurship path for create@cooper is first to raise community awarenesss, then involve more students, and finally shape them to lead entrepreneurship.
