Frequently asked questions
We recommend that you have one laptop or a tablet for each child. The organizers will not be providing laptops since we would like your child to go back home with what they've created at the workshop!
Launchpad is a live cohort-based program, where kids from the ages 9-13 learn about entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and negotiation by launching a business of their own. Over 400 pre-teens have already launched real businesses, solving real problems.
In this workshop, these will be child-only activities! We ask that parents leave their kids to enjoy the workshop, and come back only in time for the demo-day pitch!
