A Collaborative Approach to Teaching Software Startups: Findings from a Study Using Challenge Based Learning

Education on software startups is taken its first steps. A multidisciplinary and collaborative approach seems to be key to deliver a high quality software startup development program. In this sense, we conducted a study describing the path of 191 students through a startup mobile application development program. Our preliminary results indicate that using Challenge Based Learning methodology combined with agile practices can strengthen students' collaboration and engagement into the process.
