On 15 – 18 July, 144 secondary four students from 40 schools were invited to the long-awaited Business Summer Camp 2010 – one of HKUST School of Business and Management’s (SBM) Business YoungStars (BYS) Programs that offer students the chance to taste university life while acquiring business knowledge. The 4-day live-in program, themed "Revolution towards a new era”, is structured with academic seminars taught by top-notch professors, enrichment workshops conducted by distinguished guest speakers, virtual financial trading in the school’s state-of-the-art business laboratories, guest dinner and team building games organized by student bodies. 

Apart from the aforementioned activities, the 144 participants also competed in a Marketing Poster Competition which tests their creativity, presentation skills and teamwork. The participants not only finished the posters amidst a tight program schedule, they did remarkably well and came up with many brilliant marketing ideas and strategies.

The participants found the 4-day Business Summer Camp 2010 a very fruitful and rewarding experience. They have established invaluable friendship with students from different secondary schools and SBM’s current students; acquired business knowledge and experienced student life at the HKUST in and outside the classroom.
