The program is free, fully sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank's Futuremakers Initiative, and provides mentorship from inspiring entrepreneurs and supportive mentors.
The Bossgirls Summer Program, hosted by the Zahn Innovation Center at The City College of New York (CCNY), is a five-week entrepreneurship program for high school girls and nonbinary students. It introduces participants to entrepreneurship as a career path and a problem-solving mindset. Students learn to analyze problems, identify business opportunities, and develop innovative solutions using a human-centered design approach. The curriculum covers market research, competitive analysis, product pricing, prototyping, and brand creation. The program culminates in a pitch event where teams present their business ideas, similar to a 'Shark Tank' experience without the sharks. Participants also benefit from mentorship by experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts, gaining valuable skills in business planning, marketing, finance, communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.
A typical day involves interactive lessons, hands-on activities, and teamwork, focusing on building a foundation in entrepreneurship, problem identification, customer research, and market analysis. Some days may include field trips outside the classroom.
This program is ideal for high school girls and nonbinary students who are curious about entrepreneurship, interested in inventing new things, or want to create change in the world.
