MAPS Mobile: Entrepreneurship class working to fund van for new state-wide venture

When the folks at MAPS Media Institute http://www.mapsmediainstitute.com/ put together their inaugural entrepreneur class last January, they told the first students they were expected to create a working business and then build it into something real.

Then – like always – the instructors stepped back and let the collective creative juices of a room filled with young minds flow.

"They don’t use the ‘no’ word here," said Olivia Vai, a Corvallis homeschooler who attended that first class. "We just jump in with both feet and go."

It didn’t take long for an idea to rise to the top.
