About this Event
A unique opportunity for students aged 16+ to join us for an immersive five-day course in Oxford from December 8–12, 2025.
This dynamic programme will challenge the way you think about startups and startup founders.
“Shifts” happen, and most big ideas capitalise on a “Shift.” Technological, legal, cultural, and market shifts disrupt the status quo, creating economic crises for many and opportunities for a few.
Through a combination of lectures, workshops, and interactive exercises, this programme will help you develop a growth mindset and gain a broader outlook on how to thrive in today’s fast-paced business landscape.
Whether you are a high school student with a startup idea, a computer science student looking to leverage technology and innovate in your field, a science student aiming to commercialise your idea, or any other student eager to expand your thinking and understand how Silicon Valley capitalised on shifting priorities—this course is for everyone who cares about a world where AI and technology are integral to everyday life.
