iCREATE Camp 2023 Registration Form

iCREATE is a 7-day overnight camp for kids ages 14-17 where students come together from all over the country to create and start a real business venture in one week. Participants arrive on Sunday afternoon, meet each other, and are given a broad theme. Through the course of the week, they learn from entrepreneurs as they create products for sale the following Saturday at an actual retail store, pocketing their portion of net earnings. Coordinated by the School of Human Sciences and the Center for Entrepreneurship & Outreach, college students at MSU serve as coordinators and counselors for the week and guide campers along the way.

What Participants Do?

Brainstorm product ideas around a given theme
Conduct 30-50 face-to-face consumer interviews to iterate product ideas
Design, source, and build product ideas
