Parent + Kid AI Business Pitch Workshop + Presentation | Kelly Tutors x Sound Startups x SURF Incubator
What could your child build for the future?
In this hands-on workshop, kids ages 6–14 will team up with a parent or caregiver to create and pitch an original business idea - but there’s a twist.
Each family will select mystery prompts revealing an industry, potential customer, or unexpected business challenge. Together, they’ll investigate what their customer actually needs, invent a product or service, give their business a name, and prepare a short pitch to share with the room.
Families will also explore how AI can support brainstorming, research, and creativity - without replacing the child’s imagination or decision-making.
By the end of the workshop, each child will have:
An original business concept
A clearly defined customer
A product or service designed for that customer
A business name and basic offer
A short, supportive pitch to present
New experience in creativity, communication, and entrepreneurial thinking
No business or AI experience is necessary. Children simply need curiosity, ideas, and an accompanying grown-up ready to build alongside them.
This workshop is intentionally limited to a maximum of 8 families so that every child can receive individual attention and have an opportunity to share their idea.
