We want YOU to come to the first ever FASPS Startup Weekend!
Startup Weekend is an entrepreneurial education in 54 hours! All Startup Weekend events for adults and students follow the same basic model: participants pitch ideas and receive feedback from their peers. Teams form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it's a frenzy of work all weekend to develop those ideas into potential businesses and products! Ideas can be related to products, games, services, food, tech, social entrepreneurship, and much more (click here to see examples of projects developed at a student event last year)! With help from expert mentors and coaches to guide them in the process, students prepare for final presentations on Sunday of their business pitch. Everyone is guaranteed to leave the event energized and excited, with many new skills and ideas.
If you have ever wanted to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, this is your chance! Over two and a half days, students in Grades 6-9 will learn through the act of creating. We provide the working space, brain fuel, food (5 meals included!), mentors, friends, and inspiring speakers and judges. You supply the energy and innovation to build something big over the weekend.
Want to join us? Be ready for a full weekend: see the schedule below.
