Empowered to Launch - 4 week session for teens

​Empowered to Launch is a 4-week, hands-on entrepreneurship program designed to help high school students build confidence, business skills, and real-world experience.

​Across four 2-hour Saturday sessions, students will explore how entrepreneurs identify opportunities, understand customers, shape ideas into simple business models, think about pricing and marketing, and communicate ideas through pitching.

​Students do not need to arrive with a business idea. Curiosity is enough.

​One registration includes all four sessions.

​Students will explore:

• ​entrepreneurial mindset and opportunity spotting

• ​idea development and Design Thinking

• ​customer discovery and value proposition

• ​simple business models

• ​pricing, costs, marketing, and sales

• ​testing and improving an idea

• ​presenting and pitching

• ​practical next steps beyond the program

​By the end of the cohort, students will have developed a one-page business model, explored a business idea, practiced communicating that idea, and delivered at least one pitch.
