Summary
Nine of 15 seats have already been filled for Whiz Kidz, a new CenterState CEO pilot entrepreneurship program for rising seventh and eighth graders in Syracuse.
The weeklong program runs Aug. 24-28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the INSPYRE Innovation Hub, where students will tackle a problem, build budgets and pitch decks, and give a final presentation.
A $300 fee applies, though families can seek scholarships sponsored by PPC Belden as registration stays open until the program reaches capacity.
One day will be spent at Elite Gaming, where teams must design a virtual public park on a budget, reflecting CenterState CEO's aim to expose local youth to innovation and expand the pilot in future years.
