From concept to pitch, TYCIC guides students through the entrepreneurial process. In the fall, they explore entrepreneurship with the JA Catalyst curriculum. After submitting their ideas, students collaborate with mentors in spring workshops to create business plans. The journey ends at The Big Pitch, where they compete for scholarships, school funding, and Chick-fil-A for a year!
