Pitches, prototypes and business plans don’t sound like the makeup of an average summer camp. That’s because TechGirlz’s Entrepreneur Summer Camp is anything but average.
Last year, we told you about how the word “community” was at the core of the summer offering by the Philly education outfit. As the program reaches its fifth year, Villanova University has agreed to host 26 girls in its new Idea Accelerator from July 11-15.
The camp is free for selected attendants, who will receive guidance from developers and startup founders as they shape their business ideas. This year, 26 girlz were selected out of 40 applicants.
Former campers will also drop by to showcase some of the projects they were able to put in place following their own Entrepreneur Camp experience.
“We’ve been lucky enough to work with a number of incredibly bright and passionate girls who have built their ideas with us at camp, are still continuing with their businesses today, and have chosen to come back to camp for our Alumni Program,” said TechGirlz founder Tracey Welson-Rossman.
