Creating a culture of entrepreneurship bonus content, part 1

Cultivating Curiosity

UGA College of Engineering student Garrett Stigall shares his experience with the FABricate program that helped him launch his energy drink company, Compulsion.
The following bonus content is part of our full-length episode about creating a culture of entrepreneurship through the FABricate program. In that episode, we spoke with Chris Rhodes, director of industry partnerships and project-based learning at CAES, and UGA students Chris Ayers and Jeffery Whitmire about FABricate, an entrepreneurial pitch contest. Participants get the chance to expand their leadership and business skills while developing a new food product or agricultural, environmental or sustainable business.
