“TYE seeks to promote risk-taking, leadership skills and innovation among the next generation of earthlings. We use entrepreneurship as a tool to teach fundamentals of building and running a business. Our intent is NOT to create founders out of high school students (although, that may happen). Instead, we believe the skills and traits that make up successful entrepreneurs are essential in any walk of life: taking ownership, building alliances, seeking help and applying feedback, motivating a team without direct authority and above all, working through challenging situations with grace and grit.”
