"What's good about large lectures?"

"You can get your students to play
'Ultrapreneur® – the real-life money game'!"

Dear Colleague,

If you need to train your students to think creatively, understand and explore their relationship to finance and develop an entrepreneurial mindset, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

Here's why:

Ultrapreneur® is a fun and educational game that embeds entrepreneurship into your enterprise lectures and training. It's a real life money game and teaching resource for Enterprise Educators and their students.

What’s so good about it?

Ultrapreneur can help your students to identify their talent for enterprise. Because they learn-by-doing over a sustained period of time, students develop awareness about their own attitudes, skills and limitations.

Students spot, make and exploit opportunities through their own creative thinking and inventiveness. Particularly enterprising students discover that there are others ways to make money without actually winning the main prize!

The Entrepreneurial Mindset

Just in the course of participating in the game, students assess and manage risk, and explicitly understand the relationship of risk to reward as they try to obtain or trade more credits.

Because Ultrapreneur effectively mirrors real life, students will be confronted with their own feelings as they begin to venture into uncertainty. This is a highly valuable learning experience, and if skilfully explored in tutorials, can bring about powerful change in a person.

Students are engaged with this game outside of contact hours in the lecture, over the weeks that your module runs, providing an effective way to reinforce their learning in the subject.

It’s unpredictable, challenging and fun!

Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons why Ultrapreneur will transform your Enterprise education:

Three Reasons To Believe What We Say

Reason one: The game was designed by an experienced enterprise educator and creative thinking specialist

Reason two: The creators of the game are entrepreneurs in their own right, having established numerous businesses of their own

Reason three: The game was trialled extensively at University of Hertfordshire 2006-7

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive

An educational game designed specifically for large groups

No need to worry about large group activities. In fact, the bigger, the better.

Extensive facilitators guide

You'll be up and running in no time.

Access to a special Enterprise Teaching Resource website

With extra resources and forums to enhance the game.

Includes Powerpoint slides to introduce the concepts of money

The lectures are ready-written and ready for you to present.

Unlimited support by email and phone

Help and advice to get the most out of the game is on hand.

Exciting tutorials included

To build on the learning for workshop groups.

Evaluation sheets included

To get valuable feedback on the learning experience from your students.

The 300 game currency notes are consecutively numbered and personalised with your unique course code, printed on special paper

The design avoids forgery and looks like real money.

So how does the game work?

Let us explain.

A fictional currency is introduced to your class that takes on real value, because it is fixed against a cash prize. The student with the most credits at the end of your course wins. However because this currency is a desirable commodity, there are other ways to make money, and your more enterprising students will find them in creative and innovative ways!

The same rules apply in the gaming model as in real trading, so students learn how they can create value for their offerings and how networking and interaction can create or redistribute wealth. The game provides a valuable opportunity to explore motives and understanding of attitudes and behaviour towards money and value exchange.

What do I need?
• Upwards of 60 students (the more the better)
• A virtual discussion forum for your module/programme
• A suitable reward

Ultrapreneur simulates the uncertain trading environment that real entrepreneurs cope with and thrive on! The game is introduced at the beginning of your teaching programme, and runs concurrently until the end. The richest learning points are achieved by having many students join in and play full-out. Students can make full use of your programme’s discussion forum to advertise and trade. It becomes the marketplace for deals and communication.

 

Don't just take our word for it:

 

"This game gives students an opportunity to think about and realise just how entrepreneurs can and do empower economic growth."

– Nigel Culkin, Head of Enterprise and Entrepreneurial Development, University of Hertfordshire

 

Listen to what people who have played the game say:

 

Student feedback on 'What did you learn about yourself?'

"My confidence to approach people - my hunger for success."

"That I can achieve anything I want if I put my mind to it."

"I need to be more proactive."

 

 

Student feedback on 'What did you learn about entrepreneurship?'

"Be confident. You can't always do things alone."

"That I have the skills to follow in other entrepreneurs' footsteps."

"You have to be a 'go-getter' - not someone sleeping on an idea."

 

 

Student feedback:

"We have been able to tap into our creative and entrepreneurship qualities with great enjoyment"

"[Ultrapreneur] allowed us to explore our creative side that most of us did not belive we had... we have been inspired to think like entrepreneurs!"

 

Warning: Do NOT buy any game claiming to embed enterprise
unless it meets the following 3 criteria

There is a lot of confusion surrounding our field. I want to give you 3 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any solution you obtain:

1: It must allow all students, from any background to take part

2: It must create a real tangible value

3: It must provide a context for your teaching, linking directly to enterprise and your course and not be just an 'interesting aside'

All this for around £1 or £2 per student!

The larger your group, the better value you get from the game. The game pack contains all these things to run within your term of an enterprise-focused course:
