ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION BOOTCAMP (July 15-20, 2018)

ASMSA’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bootcamp is for all innovators, aspiring entrepreneurs, and outside-the-box thinkers! This immersive, hands-on, student-driven learning experience introduces participants to the “lean startup” process, which is the basis of successful business launch programs like the National Science Foundation’s i-Corps program. Students explore rapid product development and iteration, identify product/market fit, and business model development. The week culminates with an exciting expo in which attendees prepare and deliver a public pitch of their ideas. Students gain valuable team-building, communication, and critical thinking skills in a supportive and challenging environment. Don’t miss out on the fun!

APPLICATION PROCESS

Selection for all camps is competitive. Students must be rising sophomores for each camp. All camp activities — including tuition, housing, meals and class supplies — are free. Applications will be accepted until all spots are filled, with preference given to students who complete their application by April 30, 2018. Students may apply for both June and July camps, but note, applicants who did not attend the June camp will have preference for the July camp. In order to apply for these summer opportunities, students must submit the following materials online :
• the online application form with biographic and school information;
• answers to two short essay questions;
• a current transcript with fall semester grades and a spring semester progress report;
• any standardized test scores (ACT-ASPIRE, PLAN, PSAT, ACT, SAT, etc.); and
• a brief letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, or principal.
