Program Overview: Summer CEO is STEMCAT’s 8-week junior leadership boot camp, built for Skilled Minds who want to spend their summer building real leadership, communication, and entrepreneurial skills instead of losing momentum between school years. Fellows work in small teams, take on a real project from idea to pitch, and graduate with the confidence and habits of a young leader — whether or not they ever start a business.
Campers build the mindset and habits of a leader before building anything else.
Campers practice the communication skills every leader needs, through real team exercises.
Campers form teams and develop a real idea from scratch, with mentor support.
Campers turn their idea into a polished pitch and rehearse presenting under pressure.
Camp culminates in a live Pitch Day, where every team presents its idea to a panel of STEMCAT mentors and community leaders.
