After-School Program
Our After-School Program brings the world of entrepreneurship and innovation directly to the classroom — helping students (ages 12–18) develop the mindset, creativity, and confidence to become future founders and leaders.
Held once a week during the school year, each session blends entrepreneurship fundamentals, problem-solving exercises, and hands-on projects that make learning both practical and exciting.
Students don’t just study concepts — they build real mini-startups, learn to use AI tools, design business ideas, and pitch them in front of peers and mentors. Every class is guided by experienced instructors and startup coaches who bring real-world startup experience into a structured, age-appropriate environment.
Program Highlights

Why It Stands Out
-
Silicon Valley Framework: Designed around startup principles used by innovators in the Valley — not textbook theory.
-
Age-Appropriate Entrepreneurship: Content is customized for middle and high schoolers to match their creativity and maturity level.
-
AI-Driven Learning: Students gain early exposure to tools shaping the future of business and innovation.
-
Confidence & Life Skills: Beyond business, they strengthen communication, teamwork, and critical thinking — essential for any career path.
By the end of the program, each student walks away not only with a real project and presentation experience, but also with the entrepreneurial mindset to approach life’s challenges with innovation and confidence.
