That Day Students Encouraged Copying 那一天，學(xué)生們鼓勵(lì)其他人復(fù)制他們的成功

Remember that great story a few weeks back about the seniors at the Pudong campus of Shanghai American School whostarted their own business at school? (RentAUni)As it turns out, they now want other students to copy what they’ve done, by thinking entrepreneurially and starting their own businesses.

還記得幾周前上海美國(guó)學(xué)校浦東校區(qū)十二年級(jí)學(xué)生在學(xué)校創(chuàng)業(yè)的故事嗎？（RentAUni）現(xiàn)在，他們希望其他學(xué)生能夠效仿他們的工作，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)業(yè)思維，創(chuàng)立自己的事業(yè)。

The Project 3A team (named after the SAS class that inspired their first business idea) has launched the Startup Challenge to help fund other SAS student-conceived businesses with up to ￥1000. Says co-founder Julian Helbling ’20, “We believe students have excellent ideas that can benefit the community, but they lack the means to establish their idea. We want to help them develop their ideas without the obstacles we faced.”

3A項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)（以激發(fā)他們首個(gè)商業(yè)理念的上海美國(guó)學(xué)校班級(jí)命名）發(fā)起了“創(chuàng)業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)”，為上海美國(guó)學(xué)校其他學(xué)生的創(chuàng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目提供1000元人民幣的資金支持。作為聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人之一，上海美國(guó)學(xué)校十二年級(jí)學(xué)生Julian Helbling表示：“我們相信，學(xué)生們擁有能夠讓上海美國(guó)學(xué)校社區(qū)受益的好想法，但他們?nèi)狈⑵渥兂涩F(xiàn)實(shí)的方法。我們希望在這方面為他們提供幫助，消除我們?cè)?jīng)面臨的一些障礙。

”The passion that co-founder Aaron Xie ’20 has for entrepreneurship is what led the team to develop the Startup Challenge. “Feasibility and impact are the two factorswe’ll look at,” said Xie about what it will take to win. “Of course, the ideas don’t have to be perfect from the start; this is also a support system where we will offer feedback for improvements. So really, we are just looking for dedicated and passionate individuals.”

另一位聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人，上海美國(guó)學(xué)校十二年級(jí)學(xué)生Aaron Xie憑借對(duì)創(chuàng)業(yè)的熱愛推動(dòng)團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)起了“創(chuàng)業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)”。Xie表示：“我們會(huì)評(píng)估可行性和影響力這兩大因素。當(dāng)然，想法未必從一開始就是完美的；這同時(shí)還是一個(gè)提供支持和幫助的系統(tǒng)，我們會(huì)提出改進(jìn)意見。因此，我們希望找到具有創(chuàng)業(yè)熱情和專注度的個(gè)人。”

The Startup Challenge is funded by the profits from the team’s original business, RentAUni, which rents gym uniforms for students who forgot to bring – or maybe wash – their own. “Subtract the Startup Challenge prize, and there is still ample amount of money left with RentAUni to ensure that business will be able to continue serving students for many years to come,” says Xie.

“創(chuàng)業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)”的資金來自團(tuán)隊(duì)最初創(chuàng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目RentAUni的利潤(rùn)。RentAUni會(huì)給忘帶運(yùn)動(dòng)服——或者是忘洗運(yùn)動(dòng)服——的學(xué)生出租運(yùn)動(dòng)服。Xie表示：“扣除‘創(chuàng)業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)’的獎(jiǎng)金后，RentAUni依舊擁有充足的資金，能夠確保業(yè)務(wù)的正常運(yùn)營(yíng)，在未來很多年里都可以為學(xué)生提供服務(wù)。”

While the Startup Challenge was born on the Pudong side of the Huangpu River, SAS students from the Puxi campus are eligible as well.Applications can be submitted through SurveyMonkey via the “Read More” link below.

盡管“創(chuàng)業(yè)挑戰(zhàn)”誕生于黃浦江的東側(cè)，但上海美國(guó)學(xué)校浦西校區(qū)的學(xué)生同樣可以申請(qǐng)。學(xué)生可以通過此鏈接提交申請(qǐng)。學(xué)生可以通過點(diǎn)擊以下“閱讀更多”提交申請(qǐng)。

It will be satisfying for the Project 3A team to see other student-run businesses come to life. Even more rewarding will be the opportunity to leave behind an even stronger SAS once they graduate.

3A項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)非常期待看到其他學(xué)生的創(chuàng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目運(yùn)營(yíng)成功。更有意義的是在他們畢業(yè)后，他們的精神能繼續(xù)在上海美國(guó)學(xué)校傳承下去。

LEGACY-BUILDING. EVERY DAY AT SAS.

傳承。就在上海美國(guó)學(xué)校的每一天。
