March to May Bootcamp
Venture Cafe is proud to bring Youth CITIES’s March to May bootcamp to St. Louis. Started in 2007, Vicky Wu Davis has been creating and refining a curriculum to expose young people to the mindset and principles of entrepreneurship; to prepare them to be leaders in their field, whether as founder or part of an innovative team; to identify, launch, and execute innovative products, services, and new ventures that contribute to socio-and economic value creation.
With the belief that innovation is a process to improve the human condition, Venture Cafe strives to create opportunities in our communities and are committed to Creating Impact Through Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainability (CITIES).
Designed for middle school and high school students, from any school or town, participants work with a variety of entrepreneurs to start a venture, figure out how it impacts their local community, and determine how its going to make money while driving change.
