Who owns the idea of the team?
- The students. YFS does not take any equity in their business.
What do the winners get?
- The winning team gets a US $1,000 seed funding for their business.
How much does it cost to attend?
- Our bootcamps and ideation days are completely free.
If parents or schools want to make a voluntary donation we would welcome it.
How can I help YFS?
- You can help by donating to us. We will use the fund to help underprivileged students.
Do I have to stay with my kids for both days?
- No, you don t. We will look after the students during the programmes.
Does the school need to provide a member of staff?
- No. Schools can send staff members if they wish, but students can attend
the workshops unaccompanied by a school staff member.

Do students need to apply in teams?

- No. Students apply as individuals but they can let us know if they want to
work in a particular team they already have an idea with.

Do students need an idea to attend?

- Not for Ideation Express. No experience is necessary. We do require a basic
idea to apply for bootcamp, but students do not have to stick with this idea.

Is it just for business and economics students?

- No. We believe everyone can be entrepreneurial and that these skill sets are
useful in all career paths.
How should I get to the bootcamp?
- Students will need to arrange their own transport to and from the venue.
How often do you run the bootcamps?
- We run 4 English and 4 Cantonese bootcamps.
I have other plans over the weekend, can I just come for one day?
- Students are required to attend both days of the bootcamp.
Do you have any non-english programs?
- We are developing programs for local languages. Stay tuned!
Do I have to record a video for my application?
- Yes. You might be a bit camera shy, but it doesn t have to be perfect, we
just want to hear about your idea.
Who are the mentors?
- Mentors are industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs. YFS trains them
before providing mentorship to students.
Are your staff first-aid trained?
- A first aid certified member of staff is present at every bootcamp.

Is YFS non-profit?
- Yes. Full charitable status is pending.

How old do students need to be?

- 11 to 18 years old.
