About Mines Entrepreneurship & Innovation 

The Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the Colorado School of Mines was established in 2017 to help students explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Mines has made great progress in introducing “entrepreneurial thinking” to students through a variety of classes and industry-sponsored innovation challenges. The emphasis of this educational approach has been on researching and understanding the problem, followed by the development of a fast, inexpensive early stage solution that can be tested with customers.
