About Teen Entrepreneur Summer Academy
For the past ten years the Teen Entrepreneur Summer Academy (TESA) has built high school students into budding entrepreneurs. The Teen Academy is designed for high school students entering grades 9th all the way to 12th grade. Our Teen Entrepreneur Summer Academy attracts students from across the state of Michigan. During the five day academy, teams of four to five students from different schools manufacture an original business pitch from the idea stage to a developed concept. On the final day, each team will present their idea to a panel of local business professionals for a chance to win cash prizes totaling $5,000!
In 2016, the GVSU Center for Entrepreneurship & innovation (CEI) in collaboration with the GVSU Charter Schools Office, will run a pilot TESA program in the GVSU Detroit Center, located in downtown Detroit. This 2016 pilot TESA program is available only to GVSU Detroit area Charter High School students.
