Startup to foster scientific temper among youth

After Liu Yang took a break in 2014 from his graduate program at Peking University, he founded Mars Club, a Beijing-based startup devoted to education. To improve his odds of success, he enrolled last year in a one-year free entrepreneurship program run by the Entrepreneur's Training Camp at the university.

Starting a business can be difficult for young entrepreneurs, as many of them lack work experience, market skills and funds, said the 28-year-old.

"The camp helped me a lot, I gained knowledge and experience from prominent professionals and industry tycoons, which made it easier for me to manage our team, and also to reach for more resources, such as networks."
