Welcome to OUR BOOTCAMP
Students are expected to register in teams of 4-5. Each team will run simulations together. At the end of each day teams will be ranked based on performance. The winning team of the Bootcamp will receive an award! Register now to team-up with your friends.
ABOUT US
We didn’t build this bootcamp to teach you from a textbook. We built it because the textbook is already obsolete.
The world is moving at a blistering pace. Between shifts in global supply chains, energy markets, and the rapid rise of generative AI, the traditional path of "study now, figure out the real world later" doesn't give young people a head start anymore. It leaves them catching up.
Our mission is simple: To collapse the gap between high school and the frontiers of global industry.
BOOTCAMP PROGRAM
- DAY 1: Startup Wars
Student Activity: Students operate a virtual retail business. They manage day-to-day operations, set product pricing, hire and fire staff, budget for marketing, and adjust strategies in real-time to outperform competing student teams in the same local market.
- DAY 2: StockTrak + Up to You!
Student Activity: In the morning, students deploy a virtual $1,000,000 portfolio into live global stock and commodity markets. The facilitator injects sudden economic shocks (supply chain halts and energy crises). Students must use risk management tools like stop-loss orders to protect their capital.
In the afternoon, students transition into government roles where their remaining morning capital funds a national budget, forcing them to balance economic growth with sustainability goals.
- DAY 3: CapCut + Gemini
Student Activity: Students input their financial and operational data from the previous days into generative AI platforms. They engineer text and image prompts to produce a high-definition, 12-second vertical video advertisement.
The summit concludes with students presenting their AI media assets and simulation metrics to a small panel of external judges.
COST AND CERTIFICATE
The bootcamp will cost 120 euros. The fee includes the use of all simulations as well as lunch and refreshments for all days.
The Marshall Initiative Certificate of Completion is far more than a token of attendance; it is a verifiable credential of applied academic excellence that should be prominently featured in university applications and personal statements. Rather than simply listing it as an extracurricular activity, students should use the certificate as an anchor to prove their practical competencies to admissions tutors.
