Entrepreneurial Program

An entrepreneurial father talks about what his daughter learned in an unusual, year-long project for girls at a Silicon Valley private school:

Boot Camp in Sensible Shoes
This was experiential learning.  Not just an afternoon’s discussion: groups had to live with their choices.  Hard to build your product?  Redesign it. Sales event didn’t draw a crowd? Try somewhere else. Lost the cash box?  Search like crazy, or you can’t pay back your investors.  A stark contrast with many of the one-session cases I read at Stanford.  (“You are the CEO of a major manufacturer...”)

For the fifth year, the program has been run by two women steeped in the Silicon Valley ethos: an engineer and an attorney who have each founded companies. They’ve provided not only a serious hands-on curriculum, but unmistakable role models. The subtext is clear: with or without boys, these girls are getting down to business.
