<p>Hey guys, I just completed my first year of TiE Young Entrepreneurs Boot camp and I just want to share my experiences. For anyone interested in business, this is definitely a program to check out. There are chapters all around the world who compete so there is probably one near you in case you are wondering ( I went to the DC one). What this program does is it basically teaches you how to take an idea, and them form a business around it, then you actually do this and compete in a series of competitions, first regional, then global. Even if you don't win, you still start a business, and can still grow it. You hear from a variety of speakers who are all successful in their field : Law/Marketing/Structure etc. It really is a great program that everyone should check out.</p>
<p>Other notes:
-There are applications
-ITS FREE ( at least it was in DC)
-They accept around 30 kids per chapter (ages 9th-11th grade)
-Regional winners get $5000 , global gets around $30,000
-have actual VC's as judges</p>
<p>Good Luck :)</p>
