That Day Students Encouraged Copying 那一天，学生们鼓励其他人复制他们的成功

Remember that great story a few weeks back about the seniors at the Pudong campus of Shanghai American School whostarted their own business at school? (RentAUni)As it turns out, they now want other students to copy what they’ve done, by thinking entrepreneurially and starting their own businesses.

还记得几周前上海美国学校浦东校区十二年级学生在学校创业的故事吗？（RentAUni）现在，他们希望其他学生能够效仿他们的工作，培养创业思维，创立自己的事业。

The Project 3A team (named after the SAS class that inspired their first business idea) has launched the Startup Challenge to help fund other SAS student-conceived businesses with up to ¥1000. Says co-founder Julian Helbling ’20, “We believe students have excellent ideas that can benefit the community, but they lack the means to establish their idea. We want to help them develop their ideas without the obstacles we faced.”

3A项目团队（以激发他们首个商业理念的上海美国学校班级命名）发起了“创业挑战”，为上海美国学校其他学生的创业项目提供1000元人民币的资金支持。作为联合创始人之一，上海美国学校十二年级学生Julian Helbling表示：“我们相信，学生们拥有能够让上海美国学校社区受益的好想法，但他们缺乏将其变成现实的方法。我们希望在这方面为他们提供帮助，消除我们曾经面临的一些障碍。

”The passion that co-founder Aaron Xie ’20 has for entrepreneurship is what led the team to develop the Startup Challenge. “Feasibility and impact are the two factorswe’ll look at,” said Xie about what it will take to win. “Of course, the ideas don’t have to be perfect from the start; this is also a support system where we will offer feedback for improvements. So really, we are just looking for dedicated and passionate individuals.”

另一位联合创始人，上海美国学校十二年级学生Aaron Xie凭借对创业的热爱推动团队发起了“创业挑战”。Xie表示：“我们会评估可行性和影响力这两大因素。当然，想法未必从一开始就是完美的；这同时还是一个提供支持和帮助的系统，我们会提出改进意见。因此，我们希望找到具有创业热情和专注度的个人。”

The Startup Challenge is funded by the profits from the team’s original business, RentAUni, which rents gym uniforms for students who forgot to bring – or maybe wash – their own. “Subtract the Startup Challenge prize, and there is still ample amount of money left with RentAUni to ensure that business will be able to continue serving students for many years to come,” says Xie.

“创业挑战”的资金来自团队最初创业项目RentAUni的利润。RentAUni会给忘带运动服——或者是忘洗运动服——的学生出租运动服。Xie表示：“扣除‘创业挑战’的奖金后，RentAUni依旧拥有充足的资金，能够确保业务的正常运营，在未来很多年里都可以为学生提供服务。”

While the Startup Challenge was born on the Pudong side of the Huangpu River, SAS students from the Puxi campus are eligible as well.Applications can be submitted through SurveyMonkey via the “Read More” link below.

尽管“创业挑战”诞生于黄浦江的东侧，但上海美国学校浦西校区的学生同样可以申请。学生可以通过此链接提交申请。学生可以通过点击以下“阅读更多”提交申请。

It will be satisfying for the Project 3A team to see other student-run businesses come to life. Even more rewarding will be the opportunity to leave behind an even stronger SAS once they graduate.

3A项目团队非常期待看到其他学生的创业项目运营成功。更有意义的是在他们毕业后，他们的精神能继续在上海美国学校传承下去。

LEGACY-BUILDING. EVERY DAY AT SAS.

传承。就在上海美国学校的每一天。
