Organizers are excited to announce this year’s return of the TYE Boot Camp 2022! However, this year, we are doing things a little differently to ensure that we are giving students the best chance to develop their business ideas. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this boot camp will be held in a hybrid format.
TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) is a global educational program dedicated to developing future generations of entrepreneurs and industry leaders by teaching high school students the rewards and challenges of becoming an entrepreneur. TYE is an “Entrepreneurship Academy,” where student teams utilize skills and tools to build a concept such as a customer feedback, iteration, and MVP in the context of a business model.
Open to any 9th -12th grade student interested in entrepreneurship, STEAM or business may apply to participate!
TYE Boot camp is an educational program that meets from February 12 to April 30, 2022, culminating in a business plan competition on Saturday, May 14, 2022. The winning team goes on to compete in the TYE Global Business Competition in June 2022 (exact date and mode to be announced later). TYE lectures feature experts & entrepreneurs, followed by interactive discussions every session. Attendance is mandatory to earn a “Certificate of Completion.” The meeting format is listed below:
*Fees will be due upon admission of the student into the TYE program. Fees are non-refundable (in part or in full) under any circumstances.
