During the training to become the member of University Innovation Fellows, Benson incorporated the experiences and obstacles he had faced to throughout his college career to propose the idea of offering a class-- to have students with entrepreneurial ideas a stage to come up with a solution to the real world problem and design the prototype. He wanted students on campus to have a chance to propose to faculty in James Madison University something that could potentially be the project sponsor/advisor to mentor the team toward the execution of the project. He believes that this would be a great experience for students around campus get to work with students from multidisciplinary background to learn new technique in a non-traditional style of course.
