Tao of everything
Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;

Graduated with a Major in Startups →
You can also stretch the envelope in different fashions, too. Take an uptime class, where everyone gets a VPS at the beginning of the semester and has to keep their box up. Grade based on uptime. Have the professor DDOS them. Simulate a power outage at 3am. Simulate a huge traffic influx. Offline specific components. The point is things start to feel less like a class and more like an actual...
