Startup Spring Break
Future Founders
Run in partnership with Google, Startup Spring Break is a high-energy, fast-paced learning experience open to female/nonbinary middle school students currently attending Chicago Public Schools who are builders, makers, and dreamers. During this 4 day experience, participants will come together to learn about entrepreneurship, meet female, trans, and nonbinary founders making an impact, and collaborate to create their own startup ideas.
This program will run during CPS Spring Break (March 24-27) and is open to female/trans/nonbinary middle school students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Programming will take place from 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM on Monday 24th, Tuesday 25th , Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th March at the Future Founders office in downtown Chicago (1 N Dearborn St 5th floor, Chicago, IL 60602).
Upon completing the program and meeting attendance standards, students will receive a $100.00 gift card of their choice.
Given our commitment to making our programs accessible to as many youth across Chicago as possible, if you have already participated in a previous cohort of Startup Spring Break, you will not be eligible to attend.
