An Enterprise Educator asks "My new student group is huge! Can you help?"
if you need to train your students to think creatively, understand and explore their relationship to finance and develop an entrepreneurial mindset, then
Ultrapreneur® – the real-life money game is for you.
What’s so good about Ultrapreneur?
Ultrapreneur can help you and 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 creative thinking and inventiveness. Particularly enterprising students discover that there are other ways to make money without actually winning the main prize!
But be warned - this game is NOT for you if you have a student group of under 70 students. The bigger your student group the better!
Its also NOT for you as an educator if you are the slightest bit risk averse. The ultra-outcome is unpredictable in every case! If you like more certainty in your experiential teaching - try SIM Venture - or UltraAsset.
If you were teaching Science you would have the Lab, or Earth Sciences the Field Trip. Entrepreneurship is an activity and Ultrapreneur creates an active trading environment - effectively exploit all the enterprising teaching points from your own programme
The Entrepreneurial Mindset
By 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.
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.
Students engage 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!
Three Reasons for using Ultrapreneur in your teaching:
Reason one: The game was designed by an experienced enterprise educator and a creative thinking specialist
Reason two: The creators of the game have established businesses of their own - they understand trading!
Reason three: The game was trialled extensively at a University Business School from 2006-8

So how does the game work?
|
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!
Just like real-life trading, students learn how they can create value for their offerings and how networking and interaction can create or redistribute opportunities. For educators this provides a valuable opportunity to explore motives and understanding of attitudes towards money and value exchange.
What do I need?
• Upwards of 70 students (the more the better)
• A virtual discussion forum for your module/programme helps communication
• 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.

Students benefit by
• having to think creatively - and fast
• learning to solve problems for value exchange
• practising their persuading and selling skills
• building the self-confidence needed to 'trade'
• having to spot opportunities and use them to their advantage
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."
General 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!"
Be sceptical about any game claiming to embed enterprise unless it meets the following 3 criteria:
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'
Still not sure? All these benefits for around £1 or £2 per student!
