Big Shoulders Fund and the Chicago office of EY are celebrating the third year of a partnership to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in Big Shoulders Fund schools. The Entrepreneurship Program, sponsored by EY Chicago and featuring mentorship from EY employees, teaches students in 20 Big Shoulders Fund network schools basic lessons in entrepreneurship and helps them think critically about their community and identify innovative ways to make it better. Throughout the school year, students from Big Shoulders schools work hand-in-hand with EY mentors to develop a product or service that will improve the Chicago community, along with a financial plan, market analysis, and assessment of materials needed to execute the idea. EY mentors help the students work through their ideas and provide hands-on education and collaboration on business strategy and development. On Friday, May 3rd, this year’s program culminated in the annual team entrepreneurship competition, held at 1871, Chicago’s technology incubator. Students from 20 schools had the opportunity to present their business idea to a panel of judges, answer questions, and explain why their idea was worth investing in. The winning team was St. Ferdinand School for their idea, Uniform Uniform, a business that sells used school uniforms. They were awarded a gift of $1,000 for their school.
