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.
平臺成立一年后，What’s Poppin正在為其舉辦的首個活動做準備——2019年“What’s Poppin 青少年創始者論壇”將于本周正式亮相，作為What’s Poppin和CAPISCE的創始人，上海美國學校十二年級學生Nicholas深知支持和指導對創業者來說有多重要。
“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：“讓我感到驚訝的是，我發現根本沒有面向青少年創業者的支持平臺。我非常幸運得到了專家和導師的支持，因此我希望讓其他青少年創業者能夠獲取他們可能需要的資源，從而為他們提供支持。”
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.
這就是舉辦論壇的目的所在。論壇旨在提供一個平臺和機會，讓志同道合的青少年創業者不僅能夠相互學習，相互交流，還能夠聆聽技術、設計、游戲、營銷和市場情報等領域關鍵領袖的真知灼見。
“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：“包括我在內的五位學生將發表演講。Qinyi和Brandon跟我一樣來自上海美國學校，Stella來自上海包玉剛實驗學校，Anzhi來自上海復旦附中國際部。”此外，讓團隊感到興奮的是，盧剛博士（動點科技創始人兼首席執行官）、Jessie Chen女士（Kid-speak創始人兼ICS新聞主播）、Siddhi Lizcano先生（BMW Designworks互動設計創意總監）等專業人士都將出席并提供建議和深入研究。
“The hope is that events like this can help inspire more entrepreneurship and innovation among teenagers,” said Nicholas.
Nicholas表示：“希望此類活動能夠激勵青少年進行更多創業和創新。”
