This year, Design Thinking was utilized as a tool to assist the participants with their team formations. Design Thinking is the cognitive process from which design concepts (e.g. ideas for products) emerge. Once the teams were established, the groups then began learning about the Lean Business Model Canvas and filling in each segment to develop their business idea that would later be presented to the Judge\u2019s Panel on the final day of camp.<\/p>\n<p>A great portion of the camp was focused on the Aboriginal culture. Through the cultural technicians Elders, the participants were taught different aspects of Aboriginal culture such as spirituality, art, and survival skills. Sharing circles were conducted each morning that allowed participants, facilitators, visitors and the Elders to share their life experiences personally and professionally. Through the cultural components of AAYEC, the participants were able to grow individually and become a close Network.<\/p>\n<p>From beginning to end, the camp was filled with learning experiences, fun activities, adventures and guest speakers. Without these components of the camp, AAYEC would not have been such a great success!<\/p>\n\t<h3>\u201cThe most comprehensive aboriginal entrepreneur camp I&#8217;ve ever experienced! A brilliant opportunity for youth to be inspired, empowered and gain relevant knowledge in developing a business plan. So blessed to be a part of such a fantastic tool box of resources for aboriginal youth to become successful in business!\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u2014Charlene Schatz, Chara<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Coaching, AAYEC 2018 Guest Speaker<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tHow to Apply\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>We are pleased to inform you that this year Alberta Indian Investment Corporation conducting the Aboriginal Youth Camp &#8211; AAYEC 2022 and registration are open.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AAYEC is a camp open to Aboriginal Youth between the ages of 18-39 who reside in Alberta.
