First Business Ideas

International Students Parent Escorted Tour: This is the idea when I talked to my mom since I was International Student Council at Highline College who arrange events for international students go around Washington to get to know more about American activities and get used to with the life styles and my Mom who work with Kennedy high school to recruit international students. We recognized that when one student comes to America, their parents are going to follow them to America in one or two week to investigate their children study environment, so we think about to make welcome tour for those parent to get to know Washington, also include restaurants, hotels, transportation, etc.
Event Studio: This is the idea that came up when I worked with my friend from building event photo booth. We think about people gonna have family pictures, birthday pictures, weeding pictures, or they just want to save their special moments but then sometimes we can't find a beautiful place, or just don't have time to travel to take pictures or just want to have pictures that's have special style like Gothic, Fairy tale, ...so we're people who will build the studio that has all of it, and it will be changed through seasoning.
Local Organic Product App: I talked to a man who did the researches on healthy food, and we talk about that the products that people grow by themselves are actually good and healthy. Sometimes they cannot finish all of it and want to sell it in local market, but there should be a way that can bring it to people easier which not require them to spend a lot of money to rent a place or the time to take care of it. We can create the app that people just need to pay for a small fee to be member, and put their products on the app and sell them.

He's founder of Intelligent Platform & Architecture (IPA) and developed technology which helped Tacoma Fire Department problem.

And when he talked about RFID systems and bread crumb trail so they can calculate the situation inside the building before the firefighters going into by transition every firefighter into a mobile sensing platform.

Erik Hanberg Story

Since I have no experience about making a business, it's nice to have a person who has a successful business, who rolled through ups and downs in business life came to the class and tell his story which helped me imagined more about that world. The first thing I heard from him is really surprise me which is if I have a business idea, start it, even though I don't know what it's gonna be, where it's gonna go.
