For All 9th, 10th, and 11th graders:
Are you a problem solver? Do you imagine how things might be “if only….”? You will have the chance to use your dreams, skills and techniques to start, scale, and sustain innovative businesses if you attend the Governor’s School of Entrepreneurship (GSE) in 2020. The GSE is a unique high-school summer entrepreneurship program that places a strong emphasis on innovation and design as elements of creating a sustainable business model.
