Critical Eye is an experiential classroom activity conducted by Ms. Pallavi Pandey in the Entrepreneurship and Small Business MDC course to develop students’ critical thinking, observation, curiosity, perspective-taking, and entrepreneurial opportunity-recognition abilities. Conducted on 22 September 2026, the activity transformed a simple visual exercise into an engaging learning experience that encouraged students to question what they normally accept as obvious.
