Entrepreneurship & Innovation Bootcamp

Ignite your entrepreneurial spirit at Tufts! The Tufts Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bootcamp immerses high school students in a two-week, hands-on experience where they tackle real-world challenges and bring ideas to life through new venture creation. Design, build, and launch a startup, small business, or nonprofit—while developing the mindset to lead change and make an impact. Students dive into an authentic Tufts experience focused on youth entrepreneurship. Collaborate with mentors from Tufts students and alumni who share their journeys and connect you to entrepreneurship resources and opportunities across campus. Create and innovate in the same spaces where Tufts’ most successful entrepreneurs first launched their ideas. This in-person, global program invites students from around the world to explore, experiment, and grow through experiential learning. No experience required—just a passion to make things happen. The Tufts Pre-College Intensive: Entrepreneurship & Innovation Bootcamp is run in partnership with the Derby Entrepreneurship Center. The Derby Entrepreneurship Center helps develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset among Tufts students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members. The center empowers them to embrace their purpose and become impactful leaders through an innovative and entrepreneurial approach via academic courses and co-curricular programming.
