The TSI Academy will take a select cohort of 30 high school students through a 3-day intensive design thinking boot camp and entrepreneurship competition. Coaches will work with student teams in addressing a challenge they face every day. On the concluding Saturday, students will pitch their venture ideas to a panel of Triangle entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Winning concept pitches will receive seed capital and/or mentoring for their innovative venture ideas.
This year's program will be held in Durham, NC, Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C.
