The course culminates in a final pitch competition and provides portfolio materials including a course completion certificate and a letter of recognition. The program runs in UC Berkeley’s campus environment and offers both residential (boarding) and day options, with structured daily schedules combining academic sessions, supervised activities and excursions.
