Applications opened last week for Stanford e-Entrepreneurship Japan (SeEJ), an all-English online course to foster Japanese students’ creative thinking and innovative problem-solving skills to address social issues. SeEJ is offered twice annually in the fall and spring by SPICE and the non-profit organization e-Entrepreneurship in Japan. The instructors are Irene Bryant (fall) and Makiko Hirata (spring). It is open to Japanese students in their first and second years of high school. The spring 2024 course will run from early April through August.

The application form is now live at https://forms.gle/Dnj57MD88NrzR37h7. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2024 23:59 Japan Time.

Not only did I learn how to start a company, or how entrepreneurship might benefit our lives, I was also able to learn the passion and joy of being useful (or rather 役に立つ).
Doria Lee, spring 2023 participant

SeEJ offers students an opportunity to engage with impactful entrepreneurs from California and beyond through its virtual classes offered twice a month on Sundays. The course will culminate in two research projects, one done individually, and the other as a group. The group project will be presented in front of several guest judges who will evaluate each group’s social innovation to address current issues. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Completion from SPICE and NPO e-Entrepreneurship.

Applicants need to be available and committed to attending virtual classes on the following Sunday mornings: April 21 (9:30 a.m.–12 p.m.), May 5 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.), May 26 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.), June 9 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.), June 30 (9:30 a.m.–12 p.m.), July 28 (9:30 a.m.–12 p.m.), August 11 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.). These dates and times are all in Japan Standard Time.

The impact of this course goes beyond words, and I am truly grateful for this invaluable experience.
Fumika Yamaguchi, spring 2023 participant
