2. How does the academy work?
The Semantic Seed Entrepreneurship Academy is a
week-long day camp for students who have completed
6-8 grades and are interested in entrepreneurship and
owning a business. The Institute holds two academies
each summer, in the Santa Cruz area. The camp runs
daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (early drop off and late
pick up are available for an additional fee).
3. Start Up Camp Youth Edition
The Semantic Seed Entrepreneurship Academy
introduces students to the concept of running a
business and what it takes to make a business
work. Through classroom exercises, field trips and
guest speakers, campers develop their own
business ideas and work on bringing their ideas to
the marketplace.
