Students don't just learn about entrepreneurship; they build a complete AI startup pitch portfolio using AI and no-code tools.
Startup Launch Lab is a live, online 6-week program where students in grades 8–12 transform an idea into a founder-style startup pitch portfolio. Students engage in project-based learning, applying AI tools, market research, and product design to develop an AI-powered startup concept. The curriculum covers identifying real-world problems, researching target markets, designing AI products, analyzing competitors, and building a prototype or mockup. Participants also create a business model, a simple 12-month financial model, and a polished pitch deck. The program culminates in a final presentation, equipping students with a comprehensive portfolio they can leverage in college applications and interviews.
Every session includes teaching, real examples, guided work, and project progress, moving the student's startup idea forward.
This lab is ideal for creative, business-minded middle and high school students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation, regardless of prior coding or tech experience.
