IDEA CAMP

Description

IDEA Camp is a unique and exciting day camp opportunity for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students offered by the NIACC John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center. This hands-on program allows young innovators to dive into the world of entrepreneurship. Students will be guided through the essential stages of business creation, from brainstorming ideas to crafting a solid business model. Whether students come with a business idea in mind or need help discovering one, our camp provides the tools and support needed to bring their entrepreneurial dreams to life. At the end of the day, students will present their business ideas and plans to their peers in a pitch competition with prizes! This camp is perfect for middle school students eager to explore entrepreneurship, develop creative problem-solving skills, and build confidence in their ability to create and innovate. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and enthusiasm!
