$100 Youth Start Up Challenge

This five-day youth startup challenge provides youth with an opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial skills and gain hands-on experience in creating products and starting a business. At the beginning of the week, participants are given $100 to create their own idea and bring it to life.

Throughout the week they will work through the process of developing their business until the final day when they take their product “to Market” to sell. The participants get to keep all profits!
