FAQ
The program is designed for young adults in two different groups, ages 13-17 and 18-22, who are interested in starting their own business and learning from experts, investors and serial entrepreneurs.
To participate in the program, you must be accepted into the program. No interview or prior experience is required, but we are looking for students who want to make a difference, are curious about new technologies, and want to solve problems.
The program covers all aspects of building a business, from brainstorming to presenting your project to customers and investors. It usually takes 3 months to complete all the assignments and absorb the essential information. However, we recommend our students keep the subscription to stay in the community and attend the weekly meetings.
The first access to our program for a new student costs $189 for 3 months and then $90 per quarter.
You're invited to attend weekly sessions where you can learn from mentors, ask questions, and participate in discussions about business solutions and the current market situation. Students are divided into different groups based on age. You can choose to meet on 2 days, Wednesday or Thursday from 5pm to 6:30pm NY time zone.
In an ever increasingly connected world, we are gaining wider access to education to grow our knowledge in science, arts and humanities. Yet, most existing curriculum lacks the means to foster 21st-century skills, such as entrepreneurship, creativity, intercultural communication and understanding. Traditional education makes us stay in our comfort zone and leaves us unprepared to deal with a rapidly changing world – we are taught to get good grades, but are not taught to build skills to cope with the unexpected and discern the distinct views of the world. In this context, we have taken a new vision for education to address the lack of an experiential, intercultural, and inclusive curriculum. Our knowledge and skills-enrichment platform has changed this. We are creating opportunities to help students develop their full potential through unparalleled experiences, which make them personally, professionally more successful to serve their communities meaningfully. Our enrichment programs will make you view the world with different eyes and act with integrity in our increasingly culturally diverse society.
It is a great opportunity to achieve new heights, learn new skills, and grow as an entrepreneur at Silicon Valley Camp!
