This winter, Teen Entrpreneur Boot Camp will bring together twelve teens to work alongside up and coming designers to help launch their products or fashion designs. In the past, teens have learned to open a new retail business; this new business model is a lesson in wholesale and manufacturing.
The teens have one week to find a factory, figure out cost of production, and develop a sales and marketing strategy. For our first workshop, the teens will collaborate alongside Alicia Kim, a Queens native, to help her launch Binder Bag; a fashion-savvy way to carry your binder!
Our first session has begun, so stay tuned for daily updates about their progress.
Toys by Teens, LLC was formed by the not-for-profit group Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp to create a real-working business model to teach students about entrepreneurship. Dr. Howard Wexler, inventor of the game Connect Four, donated a new invention to the project for the students to launch into the marketplace. The eventual revenue earned from sales will be used to offer this free program to new teams of students.
