Entrepreneurship Year Round

During the Entrepreneurs Go to School (EGTS) Tours, entrepreneurs share their secrets of success and obstacles they faced in starting and managing a business. As some of you may know, we always want to make our visits to your school FUN and EXCITING. So we'll also be featuring the same interactive entrepreneurial game shows, prizes, and resources for you to start your business. (Each school must have a minimum of 50 students registered and max of 100). The EGTS tours run September through April.

Summer Academy (July through August)

The 2 week academies consists of: Learning the steps to create a mobile app business. Receive information from seasoned entrepreneurs during daily rap sessions. Compete for prizes during the Invention Fair. Creation of a design plan (vision for their life). Create a personal financial plan. Opportunity to appear on media outlets: radio, television and website to discuss their business. Field trips to expand on learning business.
