    Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to bring my own laptop / device to the workshop?

    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!

    What is Launchpad?

    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.

    Will parents be doing activities with the kids?

    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!
