Hackers, Hipsters, and Hustlers Summer Camp will challenge and empower students to become the next generation of entrepreneurs, business, and community leaders. During this two-week camp, students will be guided into an entrepreneurial mindset of solving problems through invention using technology. By the end of the two-weeks, students will have identified a problem, come up with a viable solution, prototyped their product, and will pitch their invention and business to their peers.

   — A like-minded peer group interested in invention and entrepreneurship

   — Business mentors they can turn to for future assistance with business and invention ideas

   — An entrepreneurial mind-set that will help them solve problems in their communities

   — An understanding of how to address complex problems using technology

   — Increased presentation skills and confidence they can take with them throughout their lives
