CAMBRIDGE, MA—The deadline for applying to TiE Boston’s expanded TiE Young Entrepreneurs, known as TYE, is June 30. Any 9th -12th grade student interested in entrepreneurship, STEM or business may apply to participate.
“This is a unique program where students learn how to build a startup from actual practitioners – i.e. successful startup founders and entrepreneurs,” TiE Boston President Nilanjana Bhowmik told INDIA New England News. “As a non-profit organization, we are able to offer this high quality program at a fraction of the cost of comparable summer camps or workshops.”
She said TiE Boston this year is doubling the student intake to up to 90 students for the 2019-2020 class.
“We encourage all high school students interested in STEM and entrepreneurship to apply soon to secure their spot,” said Ms. Bhowmik.
