We are so fortunate at Bronx Science to have an alumni network of visionaries and leaders who are shaping the future of industry. We believe it is important to help our talented students nurture their own visions and ambitions — and become the problem-solvers and changemakers of tomorrow.

That is why we are excited to launch our unique, brand-new summer initiative: the Entrepreneurship Lab!

The Bronx Science Entrepreneurship Lab is an enriching, immersive summer program for Bronx Science students to develop their own business ideas and learn from Bronx Science alumni with a wealth of knowledge and experience across every major sector.

The Entrepreneurship Lab will position our school as an entrepreneurial hub for students and alumni, and we’re energized to get started.

Here’s how you can get involved and help shape the Entrepreneurship Lab experience for our students. Bronx Science alumni have the opportunity to fulfill a myriad of roles in the program, including:

• Team Mentor – the go-to resource for student teams of approximately 4-6 students. Team mentors will work with teams remotely on a wide variety of topics such as strategy, operations, marketing, finance, human capital and how to transform an idea into a legitimate course of action.

• Functional Specialist – experts in law, finance, marketing and more to consult all student teams over the course of the program in their specific areas of business.

• Content Leads – most needed at the Entrepreneurship lab! We have identified a number of key topics and core competencies that we believe are crucial to helping our student participants understand. We are looking for alumni to deliver the content on these key areas. Please see the schedule here and let us know where you can help.

• Keynote Speaker – entrepreneurial alumni who have started a business or been an early employee to share their own career path, the story of how their company came to be and lessons learned along the way.

• Job Shadows – enable students to experience the life of an entrepreneur by allowing at least two students to join your workday from start to finish.

All talks can be delivered virtually if preferred.

Interested in one or more of these roles? Please fill out the form at the button below.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about opportunities to support the Entrepreneurship Lab, please feel free to get in touch with us at alumnifoundation@bxscience.edu.

About Our Speakers

Dr. Hayley Gans ’83 is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Stanford Health Care and clinical professor at Stanford University. After attaining her MD at SUNY Syracuse, Dr. Gans ’83 completed her internship, residency and fellowship at Stanford University Medical Center. Since becoming a member of the Maternal & Child Health Research Institute at Stanford Medicine, Dr. Gans ’83 has published extensive research on infant immunity and some of the distinct challenges of tailoring vaccines and effective immunizations for young children.

Dr. Ofer Levy ’84 was born to and raised by the artist Benjamin Levy and music composer Hannah Levy in New York City, where he graduated from the Bronx High School of Science. After graduating from Yale College (B.S., Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry), Dr. Levy ’84 entered the Medical Scientist (MD/PhD) Training Program at New York University School of Medicine. There he earned his PhD under the mentorship of Drs. Peter Elsbach and Jerrold Weiss, characterizing white blood cell (neutrophil)-derived antimicrobial proteins and peptides. Inspired by his wife Sharon’s example, he chose Pediatrics and completed both residency and fellowship (Infectious Diseases) at Boston Children’s Hospital. He is currently Professor at Harvard Medical School as well as principal investigator, staff physician and the Director of the Precision Vaccines Program in the Division of Infectious Diseases, Boston Children’s Hospital. The Precision Vaccines Program (PVP) is a platform to foster international collaboration between academia, government and industry for development of vaccine formulations optimized to protect vulnerable populations. The PVP is focused on modeling vaccine-induced human immune responses in vitro using a variety of platforms including three-dimensional microphysiologic systems as well as global molecular (“OMIC”) approaches to accelerate and de-risk development of vaccines optimized for populations with distinct immune responses, including those at the extremes of age who suffer the most infections. He currently leads several NIH/NIAID-supported studies: (a) an Adjuvant Discovery Program contract, leveraging robotic and immunologic approaches to discover, characterize, and formulate novel small molecule adjuvants that may enhance vaccine responses of the young and the elderly; (b) an international Human Immunology Project Consortium effort employing systems biology to define biomarkers of neonatal vaccine immunogenicity; and (c) a number of coronavirus/COVID-related studies including a national effort to discover biomarkers of COVID disease severity as well as a project to discover and develop novel coronavirus vaccines. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts along with his wife Dr. Sharon Levy and their three children.

AtomHacks will take place entirely online on Saturday, March 20, 2021. The event begins at 9 a.m. and concludes around 5 p.m. Mentors are welcome to volunteer for as many time slots as they are able.

Thank you! Our students appreciate your help.

Our inaugural Bronx Science Career Symposium offers students the opportunity to hear directly from alumni about many possible career paths.

Introducing students to the various career paths they can pursue is essential, especially during this time when life can seem so uncertain. Many of our students are not familiar yet with the different avenues for achieving professional success, and we are counting on our alumni to help provide students with the inspiration and knowledge to envision their ambitions.

We are excited about bringing our students and alumni together for such a transformative experience. The Bronx Science Career Symposium is an entire school day featuring individual workshops from various alumni covering topics ranging from industry advice to financial literacy and job search skills. The school believes this is paramount and is devoting an entire day for the program. In order to allow for full participation for all 3,000 students, we need as many alumni to participate as possible!

How it works: Students and alumni will be hosted in virtual rooms, and the students will be allowed to select which workshops they would like to attend. We are asking our alumni to volunteer an hour of their time and speak to the students about their career, their industry, the path it has taken them to get there and their time at Bronx Science. We are asking you to share your story with our students and encourage alumni to facilitate interactions. The day will conclude with a more casual networking event where alumni will have virtual booths for students to pop by for quick questions. Alumni have the choice to lead a workshop and/or participate in the virtual networking event; whatever works best for you!
