Summer Program
A startup bootcamp for young entrepreneurs
The Entrepreneurial Ventures Summer Accelerator is a partnership between Horn Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware and Schoolyard Ventures, an organization that develops university-level learning opportunities for ambitious high school students.
During the intensive eight-week program, students will launch their own business and social ventures. By the end of the program, they will be able to:
- Develop a plan for launching a venture
- Define customers and customer segments
- Test their ideas in the real world
- Market through multiple channels
- Understand how customers, employers, and colleges view them and their strengths
- Present their ideas to potential investors and advocates
The program will culminate in a graduation event where students present their ventures, accomplishments and personal development experiences.
This program is eligible to students in grades 8, 9, 10, and 11.
