Entrepreneur Bootcamp

From Idea to Action—Launch Your First Venture

Ready to take your entrepreneurial thinking to the next level? The Entrepreneur Bootcamp is an intensive 8-week experience designed for students (ages 10–16) who have completed the Entrepreneur Think Tank or already have a business, product, or project idea they want to explore.

This program turns ideas into real-world action. Students will dive deep into the entrepreneurial journey—learning how to evaluate their idea, research the market, develop a product or service, and create a brand. They’ll build a mini business plan and pitch it with confidence by the end of the program.

Whether they’re launching a small business, a product prototype, or a social impact idea, students will be guided through each step with mentorship, feedback, and plenty of creative freedom.

What Students Will Do:

• Refine and validate a business or product idea

• Conduct basic market research and customer interviews

• Create a budget and plan for materials, pricing, and profit

• Learn branding basics and design a simple logo or pitch deck

• Build a prototype or visual model of their idea

• Present a final pitch to peers, mentors, or a guest panel

Real Skills They’ll Gain:

• Critical thinking and financial literacy

• Presentation and communication skills

• Design, branding, and prototyping

• Self-confidence, leadership, and resilience

This bootcamp is hands-on, fast-paced, and results-driven—with just enough structure to guide them and enough freedom to make it their own.
