We’re hosting our camp for exceptional teenagers over Columbus Day weekend! Potential attendees should apply by August 4th, 2024!
2E, the event, will bring together 20 - 30 teens for camping at Hidden Villa in the Bay Area from October 10th to the 14th. We’re looking for teenagers who get giddy over hanging out with their irrationally passionate peers — teens who want to meet mentors working at the frontiers of technology and would love to engage in shenanigans, pranks, and night hikes with the group.
We’re looking for the rarest of rare beings, social geeks. We love collecting them at 1517 -- whether your geekery is science, tech, math, or the arts related (we love it all and we love bringing a dynamic group together!). There’s just something transcendental about being around people who love sharing their passions and curiosities so much that they uplift and inspire everyone around them. 2E is a space for teens to gather who want to geek out on their interests with others, experience cutting-edge technologies, and collaborate with great minds in those fields – all wrapped in some mischief (you’ll see!)!
By the end of the weekend, you will have made some new friends, explored new fields of science and tech, and learned a trick or two.
2E comes from the education landscape and means twice exceptional – generally thought of as high intellect with additional unique attributes & challenges. We think 2E connotes people with very high potential who are interested in taking their destinies into their hands and charting their own course – re-focusing unique abilities towards untrodden paths.
Teens attend free with housing provided; that said, we do not have a budget to sponsor transportation so everyone will need to provide their own flights and transportation to/from the camp site in Los Altos Hills. Parents of minors will need to sign a notarized waiver to attend and since this is a small event, we will not have room for parents on site.
We look forward to reading your application! Last year 100 teens applied and we were so inspired by everyone's passions and aspirations. Thank you for letting us get to know you!
Teens from last year have gone on to become great friends, received the 1517 Medici grant, and have internships with some of our founders! It's been very exciting to see how everyone has flourished since our first camp!
