A five-day, hands-on program where Boston high school students tackle real business problems—and build an app to solve them.
Three reasons to attend
Get hands-on experience building your own app—no coding experience needed
Learn from industry experts and professors working at the forefront of their fields
Pitch a real solution to a real problem, just like a startup founder would
What does it take to solve a real-world business challenge? This summer, Hult International Business School is opening its doors to Boston-area high school students for an immersive, five-day innovation challenge—where the classroom meets the real world.
When you arrive, you’ll choose one of two tracks: Education and Biotech. From there, it’s five days of workshops, mentorship, and hands-on problem-solving, guided by Hult professors and industry experts who work in your chosen field every day.
No coding experience? No problem. You’ll use no-code and low-code platforms—including tools like Cursor and Lovable—to design and build your own app from scratch. By Friday, you and your team will pitch your solution to a live audience, just like a real startup would.
Whether you’re curious about business, technology, or both, this program gives you the skills, the tools, and the confidence to turn a big idea into something real.
