The first workshop during the YEC summer program, IdeaStrike is the perfect introduction to entrepreneurship for high school students.

Styled after a reality tv show, teams of students will compete to develop the best business idea.

Teams will win bonuses and be in direct control of the workshop.

Less talking, more doing-- You never know when an Idea will Strike!

Interested in Entrepreneurship?
We are, too!

In fact, we think every high school student should have exposure to an entrepreneurship education.

That's why we designed IdeaStrike!

IdeaStrike is an all-day workshop that will introduce important concepts in entrepreneurship to students, including concepts such as Value Proposition, Distribution Channels, and Customer Segmentation.

No Lectures, No Speakers
IdeaStrike is not your typical workshop.

There will be no lecture and no speakers.

IdeaStrike runs more like a game show competition than a classroom.

Students will compete in teams through a number of challenges.

Winning Teams will receive prizes!

Solo Pitch Competition
Have your own business idea?

We'll be hosting a Solo Pitch Competition to finish the IdeaStrike workshop!

Big prizes for the Solo Pitch Competitions include a FULL GRANT to participate in the YEC summer programs.

You may even be invited to participate in the YEC Launch Program!

IdeaStrike Prizes
Best Business Idea: $1,000 YEC Grant for everyone on the team Runner-up: $500 YEC Grant for everyone on the team Winner of Solo-Pitch Contest: FREE Tuition to a YEC Summer Program
