That inspired my goal. So What I want to change in I&E for students, is creating a class to help teach coding to non-computer science majors. The class would focus on app development and html. You may be thinking, Why this specific class, when you could easily just take an intro to Computer science? By focusing on specific entrepreneurial hurdles that students run into such as building a website for their product, this class becomes a channel to empower students in the I&E community. It introduces students to a “scary thing” through an elective, fostering a low pressure atmosphere to encourage failure, and mistakes, so that students can get a deeper understanding and learn more. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Learning to code is great practice for precise, disciplined, and abstract thinking. Programming transforms a computer from something you use to do basic tasks into a power tool. It allows students to take what the they have and take it to their job or even create their own path.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small">RUSH UIF is a four part event series which seeks to expose students to Innovation & Entrepreneurship in fun and exciting ways and increase student awareness of the underlying prevalence of Innovation & Entrepreneurship in our culture today. Each event is very different from the last, targeting a different reason or avenue for I&E involvement. This year's series took place August 29th, 2016 - September 1st, 2016.</span>
