About

The Venture & Tech Summer Program (VTSP) is the premier high school innovation academy. Previously run as the Harvard Undergraduate Ventures–TECH Summer Program (HUVTSP) in collaboration with Harvard Undergraduate Ventures and the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard (TECH) within the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), VTSP has since evolved into an independent, globally-recognized innovation institution. VTSP offers an unparalleled opportunity for ambitious, high-achieving high school students to immerse themselves in the innovation ecosystem. This selective online program connects students with cutting-edge startups across diverse industries, providing hands-on experience in the field of their choice. Participants work directly with founders and C-suite executives, gaining personalized mentorship and real-world exposure to technology, business strategy, innovation, and leadership. Since its founding, VTSP has grown exponentially, now receiving thousands of applications each summer from over 50 countries. The program continues to be supported by Harvard University faculty and a global network of distinguished researchers, founders, and investors—world-renowned leaders united by a shared commitment to advancing innovation and entrepreneurship education for high school students.
