In 2011, Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp (TEBC) piloted the teen
toy company program at the acclaimed Stuyvesant High School in lower Manhattan. The goal is to expose young people to business and to teach them about entrepreneurship by creating a real world business model. Stuyvesant alumnus Ray Lent has a philosophy: do well, while doing good. This
summer, he is sponsoring Stuyvesant students to bring Toys by Teens’s first
product to market. Dr. Howard
Wexler, inventor of the game Connect Four, donated an innovative idea to the project,
a twist to the traditional educational activity book. It is now up to the young entrepreneurs to
develop and spread the new Flip 'N' Check.
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.
