Startup academies like ours can be a blast. In our programs, whether school curriculum or summer camp, kids can create, innovate and change the world. But those aren’t the only things your child can learn from one of our programs. In fact, startup academies and entrepreneurship courses come with a whole slew of benefits that your child can carry with them for the rest of their lives. Here are a few things your child could gain from one of our startup academies:
- Confidence – In startup academies, students learn to stand behind their ideas, discuss, and pitch them with confidence. It can make them better public speakers, and can do wonders for their self-esteem.
- Creativity – At the heart of all startup programs is the need to innovate – to create something that’s different, unique or game-changing for society. Just one stint in a startup academy is enough to spark creativity in a child and get them thinking outside that proverbial box.
- Passion for learning – Some students aren’t too keen on learning. Their only experience with learning is sitting in a classroom, reading textbooks or listening to a teacher drone on. With a startup academy, they quickly find that learning can be fun!
- Introduction to valuable concepts – Startup programs don’t just instill business principles in kids: they also teach STEM skills, creativity, innovation and many other valuable concepts that can help your child see success.
- Networking connections – Many startup academies also offer students a mentor – someone with real, working experience in the field they’re interested in. These mentors can prove to be valuable allies down the line, offering academic guidance, internship opportunities and sometimes even a permanent job.
When it comes to preparing your child for the future, few methods are as successful as a startup academy. Want to learn more? Ready to enroll your child in one of our startup academies or bring our entrepreneurship curriculum to your school? Contact us today.
