“B-BAY’s enriching program has redefined my perspective of entrepreneurship and has helped me grow not only as a student, but also as an aspiring business leader. Through group activities, I developed friendships like I never imagined and I am ever so grateful for the experiences I partook in. Special thanks to my TA for being an awesome mentor!” Student, 2021
“What impressed me most are all the people I met in this program during the two weeks—peers, teaching assistants, professors, and guest speakers are all amazing! It is an unforgettable experience for me to work with my four brilliant teammates and TA Erika on different projects and presentations. What I particularly love are the seminars held by guest entrepreneurs, which really gave me a glimpse at the real business world and they were both inspiring and educational!” Student, 2021
“I was concerned the online platform would not be effective in giving the students the ability to bond and collaborate as a team. I was thrilled to see our child so engaged and enthusiastic to zoom with his cohort even after hours. THANK YOU FOR CREATING SUCH A ROBUST REAL WORLD CURRICULUM IN JUST 2 weeks! I wish high schools had this type of course as an elective.” Parent, 2021
“My expectation was that our student can experience the college life of Berkeley University in advance; receive high-quality courses and guidance from professors; and work with team members to discuss topics. In this program, they can have a deeper understanding of business ideas and look forward to future college life. Our student feels this program is very interesting. They act like entrepreneurs and do projects together. Everyone was very committed, and later the group surprisingly won first place in the final showcase. The result is better than expected!” Parent, 2021
“The past fourteen days have been a great learning experience for me in terms of academic learning as well as social learning. The professors have taught me so much about the different aspects of businesses and helped me create a firm understanding of how important business is in the world. Through the program I also learned how to be a leader and how to work with a team. Finally, I think I was able to be more social due to the welcoming environment of Berkeley and learn about what college life is really like. Overall, it was an experience I learnt a lot from.” Student, 2019

“The past fourteen days were a phenomenal experience for me. Coming into the academy, I expected not to be intrigued by every element of the program. However, all of the lectures were riveting and informative. I enjoyed the college style immersion; since it gave me insight into what to expect in just a year from now. Before attending this academy, I was always interested in business, but here I was able to explore possible concentrations, which made it so much more engaging and useful. Lastly, the dorm life was a somewhat new experience for me, and I enjoyed the freedom and responsibilities that came with it.” Student, 2018
