The workshop is designed to educate and engage middle school students in entrepreneurial activities, and equip them with leadership skills through systematic training. Over 200 students from more than 40 public and private preparatory schools attended the workshop. Through this initiative, they seek to nurture entrepreneurial mindset at an early age.
