Program Description

Students will be introduced to the principles of social innovation and have the opportunity to learn from the successes, as well as failures, of young entrepreneurs through our Summer SIEB program. They will also be guided through exercises in creativity and design thinking to come up with plans for launching their own school and/or citywide ventures. Each Bootcamp will culminate in a pitch competition where the top teams will be matched with award winning mentors. While all students will retain access to Aspir8 resources afterwards, the winning teams will receive additional support to implement their ideas.

All students who attend will receive a certificate of completion, T-shirt and Ideas Journal.

Our mission at Aspir8 is to bring social innovation and entrepreneurship education into the mainstream.

Our signature SIEB program’s curriculum has been developed in consultation with leading social innovation educators and design thinking practitioners from Stanford University.

We believe in hands-on learning through doing, and incorporate activities pioneered by industry leaders such as the Transformative Action Institute and Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots program.

“It’s a great opportunity to boost your confidence, make friends, be creative and learn about business if you are taking that pathway in the future.Jivika is easy to talk to, fun to be with and encourages me to be confident and speak out.”

Curriculum Partners:

As a social enterprise, Asipr8 is committed to doing business a little differently.

That’s why we have pledged to run the very same program for as many underprivileged children as students who sign up for this Bootcamp by June 1st, through a special

partnership with Teach For India.

Still on the fence? Here are three additional reasons why YOU should absolutely attend this Bootcamp:

  1. Learn about alternative career paths and figure out how to design the life you want.
  2. Make friends and have fun while earning between 10-20 Service hours.
  3. Programs like this look GREAT on college apps – and can make or break your acceptance if you’re a deferred or waitlist candidate.
