    Overview

    The Boston Leadership Institute’s STEM Entrepreneurship hands-on academic program covers what it takes to start a new STEM business. Students generate innovative and forward-thinking product ideas, explore viable opportunities and markets, and learn to write a sales pitch and business plan.

    Many of the world’s greatest tech companies, including Dell, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft were founded by kids not much older than the teens who come to our programs. The Boston Leadership Institute, one of the top-named providers of STEM programs for high-achieving teens, is the perfect place to begin your future in STEM entrepreneurship. Students participate in brainstorming sessions to generate ideas for improving the way that companies do business.  Students develop a plan for their own revenue-generating business or a small money-producing venture.  Students examine and analyze real-life entrepreneurial stories from film and best-seller lists using the concepts learned during lectures. They then develop a business plan and investor pitch for their own company. This program is great for teens interested in both STEM and business.

    This is a competitive admissions summer research program designed for teens.

    The Boston Leadership Institute’s STEM Entrepreneurship hands-on program covers what it takes to start a new business in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
