This is great! We are trying to do something similar for middle school kids in NYC in a program called MicroInterns. Check these kids out on twitter (

) and on Inc :

It is amazing how savvy these kids are on new media stuff.

This seems like a great project. I think even brief exposure to entrepreneurs and startups could make a huge difference in these kids' lives.

I think you mean to say "businesses" where you currently say "companies"; unless you intend for these kids to quit school.

As a recent high school graduate I wish we had something like this in the inner city schools of NYC.
