Boot Camps
Our Boot Camps for Entrepreneurship and Innovation thoroughly expose the concept and practice of entrepreneurship and innovation. The curriculum is shaped and delivered by world-class professors from UC Berkeley’s School of Engineering and Haas School of Business and successful entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley.
The courses combine classroom sessions with lectures and interactive activities as well as out-of-class exercises and assignments to provide participants with the skills, culture, and networks they need to establish, operate, sustain, and scale new businesses. Throughout, theoretical and conceptual approaches are supplanted by case studies and visits to Silicon Valley.

The Berkeley-AMENA Youth Development Program’s goal is to empower K-12 students with 21st-century skills.
The program includes a set of extracurricular workshops and internships covering a range of soft and technical skills in a learning by doing environment that develops motivation and creativity and instills a growth mindset.
