FREE Grades 7-12: What is an Entrepreneur?


The Entrepreneurial Learning Series will begin on November 10th. The program “What is an Entrepreneur” will open the door to this school year’s series of programs that will take a student the entire journey from an introduction to the Entrepreneurial mindset, through identifying an growing an idea that they would like to explore creating a company with. This series will be FREE to all interested schools.

Students will learn from a diverse cast of young (most appearances will be from guests aged 16-30) entrepreneurs that are actively growing companies today. Interested students that choose will actually take their idea through the business development process during each episode and will submit their progress to an online portal. They will receive feedback and advice from entrepreneurs, advisors, and industry experts.

The series will culminate into a 'Business Ideation' competition that will result in the awarding of cash prizes and scholarships.

Please share this information with your teachers and students. Schools interested in participating in the November 10th program should contact john.ramicone@ideastream.org by November 5th.
