Our mission is to prepare students for success as future leaders and entrepreneurs
Young leaders think differently, but they often are raised under the same old boring curriculum as everyone else. The 2023 Triangle Camp allows for these talented individuals to grow outside of this system, explore themselves, and find out what it means to be an entrepreneur.
To be prepared for future leadership in business, it is important for students to develop a deep understanding of themselves, new technologies, and diverse ways of solving problems. During this camp, students will experience first-hand support from successful business leaders in all of these areas to ultimately learn how they can turn their business ideas into plausible goals to reach for.
Take a deep dive into the leadership mindset. Network with serial entrepreneurs. Learn how to get into MIT or Harvard. Collaborate on diverse teams of students from across the globe. Develop skills in presenting yourself, pitching your business ideas, and conducting negotiations. Maybe even have the chance to take a ride in the latest Tesla model.
Most importantly, have the most productive 12 days of your life while enjoying the beauty of Boston, NYC and Washington, D.C.!
