The 2019 What’s Poppin Teen Founder Forum is making its debut this week. As the founder of two internet startups,What’s Poppin and CAPISCE,SAS studentNicholas (Class of 2020)knows how important support and mentorship are to an entrepreneur’s journey.
平台成立一年后，What’s Poppin正在为其举办的首个活动做准备——2019年“What’s Poppin 青少年创始者论坛”将于本周正式亮相，作为What’s Poppin和CAPISCE的创始人，上海美国学校十二年级学生Nicholas深知支持和指导对创业者来说有多重要。
“I was surprised that I couldn’t find a support platform for teenage entrepreneurs,” said Nicholas. “I’ve been very lucky being able to benefit from the support of experts and mentors, so wanted to empower other teenage entrepreneurs by offering them access to the resources they might need.”
Nicholas表示：“让我感到惊讶的是，我发现根本没有面向青少年创业者的支持平台。我非常幸运得到了专家和导师的支持，因此我希望让其他青少年创业者能够获取他们可能需要的资源，从而为他们提供支持。”
This is where the Forum comes in. It aims to provide a space and opportunity for likeminded young entrepreneurs to not only learn from and network with each other, but also to hear from key leaders in tech, design, gaming, marketing and market intelligence.
这就是举办论坛的目的所在。论坛旨在提供一个平台和机会，让志同道合的青少年创业者不仅能够相互学习，相互交流，还能够聆听技术、设计、游戏、营销和市场情报等领域关键领袖的真知灼见。
“Including me, five students are scheduled to speak. Qinyi and Brandon are fellow SAS-ers, Stellais from YKPAO and Anzhi is fromSHSID,” said Nicholas. The team is also thrilled that professionals like Dr. Gang Lu (founder and CEO of TechNode), Ms. Jessie Chen (founder of Kid-speak and news anchor at ICS) and Mr. Siddhi Lizcano (Interaction Design Creative Director at BMW Designworks)will be present, offering valuable insights and advices.
Nicholas表示：“包括我在内的五位学生将发表演讲。Qinyi和Brandon跟我一样来自上海美国学校，Stella来自上海包玉刚实验学校，Anzhi来自上海复旦附中国际部。”此外，让团队感到兴奋的是，卢刚博士（动点科技创始人兼首席执行官）、Jessie Chen女士（Kid-speak创始人兼ICS新闻主播）、Siddhi Lizcano先生（BMW Designworks互动设计创意总监）等专业人士都将出席并提供建议和深入研究。
“The hope is that events like this can help inspire more entrepreneurship and innovation among teenagers,” said Nicholas.
Nicholas表示：“希望此类活动能够激励青少年进行更多创业和创新。”
