Global Entrepreneurship, Innovation & AI for Young Leaders at Penn GSE

The University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Penn GSE) and Delta Institute have launched the Global Entrepreneurship, Innovation & AI for Young Leaders program, a three-week online experience designed for high school students interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, and artificial intelligence.

Participants work through project-based modules focused on identifying opportunities, developing entrepreneurial thinking, building innovative solutions, and leveraging AI for learning and problem-solving. Throughout the program, students collaborate with peers from around the world while creating tangible deliverables such as AI applications, websites, prototypes, and pitch decks.

The curriculum is organized into four modules:

• Discover Opportunities

• Think Like an Entrepreneur

• Create Innovative Solutions

• Learn, Build & Grow with AI

Students who successfully complete the program receive a Certificate of Completion from Penn GSE.

Sample project themes highlighted by the program include sustainability-focused AI tools, digital health platforms, and AI-powered financial literacy solutions.
