About this Event
Go From Zero to Entrepreneur in ONE day
This high-energy, hands-on experience is designed specifically for high school students who are curious about entrepreneurship, innovation, and building something real. In a single day, participants will go through the same fast-paced process used in University Startup Programs compressed into an action-packed format that takes you from:
idea → team → prototype → pitch.
You don’t need a business idea, coding skills, or experience. Just show up ready to learn, create, and collaborate.
What students will do
- Learn how real startups begin (even with zero experience)
- Brainstorm and test ideas with teammates
- Get guidance from mentors throughout the day
- Build a simple prototype or concept and refine it with feedback
- Practice pitching and present to a panel of judges
- Celebrate wins with awards and closing remarks
What’s included
- Mentorship + coaching throughout the day
- Multiple working sessions + structured mini-workshops
- Pitch practice and final pitch showcase
- Meals provided (breakfast, lunch, dinner—plus food for ceremony attendees)
Who should attend

- Try entrepreneurship in a supportive environment
- Learn teamwork, problem-solving, and pitching
- Build confidence and real-world skills
