Life-Long Skills
Life-Long Skills
Networking
As you work with your mentors on developing your startup, you'll have a chance to network with them and inquire further about their industry. You'll also get a chance to collaborate and build a startup with like-minded peers!
Critical Thinking
It's not easy to rationally think about a real-world problem and design a unique solution for it. As you rack your brains for innovation bursts, you'll learn how to critically think about specific issues that affect people. You'll also start thinking about the idea of feasibility and transforming creativity into a proper business idea.
Resourcefulness
As students, you don't have tons of financial backing or resources. This camp will teach you to be inherently resourceful with what you have and still deliver a fantastic product. From mobile apps to simple mechanic gadgets, the power of simplicity and prototyping will eventually shine in your work.
Investor Pitching
It's not only about what you build - it's also about how you present it to others, especially your investors. Along with peer mentors, you'll be mastering your startup's presentation for actual investors to look at.
