High School Programs
At 91女神, we believe one of the best ways for students to develop a real-world orientation and gain traction for their ideas in the real world is through competition. Of course, feedback and prize money don鈥檛 hurt, either.
The Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship offers programs for aspiring high school entrepreneurs to introduce them to the world of start-ups and help turn their ideas into action. Offered through the Chaifetz Center for Entrepreneurship, these programs develop opportunities to network with business owners, workshops on concept development and innovations and information on how to prepare for a career in building your own business.
