FAQs

Common questions

Does my child need any business experience?
Not at all. The program is designed for complete beginners. All they need is an open mind and a willingness to participate.
What will students actually make?
Each team will develop a real business concept and present it on the final day. They'll leave with a pitch deck, team poster, and a certificate of completion.
Is this academic or more like a camp?
It's hands-on and project-based — definitely more like a camp than a classroom. Students will be active, creative, and collaborating all week.
