Our workshops are built for middle and high school students in Chicago Public Schools. Here’s what we look for in our workshop partners:
Students build creativity and confidence as they generate and share original ideas through rapid brainstorming and design-thinking exercises.
Students learn how their interests and hobbies can be turned into a side hustle, providing the building blocks of entrepreneurship.
Students take a startup sprint from problem to prototype, shaping solutions around customer needs and pitching a prototype.
Students meet Chicago founders who share real journeys and advice, connecting classroom learning to careers in entrepreneurship.
