Dear students and volunteers, you are part of a national initiative to instill the entrepreneurial mind-set in our youth and this means that we are all responsible for the experience we have together. Each team is comprised of students from around the UAE, both males and females in different grades and therefore, it is even more important than ever to represent yourself, your school and your community in the best way possible. Please find below our Code of Conduct and guiding principles that we expect all of our participants to adhere to. Once you have read these, please sign your name at the bottom of the form to confirm your understanding of these principles. Any violation of the guiding principles will be escalated to schools and relevant authority. Any participating student that does not sign the form will not be entitled to joining the team or winning the trip and traveling to Silicon Valley, San Francisco – USA. Bad conduct will not be tolerated and students exhibiting such behavior will be asked to leave the program.
Our Guiding Principles:
- All participants will arrive to the session on time and prepared with their notes, camera on and professionally dressed. If you will be late, please inform your mentor to be excused.
- All participants will respect the sessions and not cause any disruption to the facilitator, team members or other participants.
