Business Lab
Over 4 Saturdays, each kid invents a business: a product, who it's for, what it costs to make, a price, a logo, and a pitch. All 4 weeks are online, and week 4 is Pitch Day, with parents joining the call to watch.

What they learn, what they make, and what you see
They learn
Setting a price
What their product costs to make, what to charge for it, and what they'd keep from each sale.
Designing for a customer
Picking a problem they've noticed, deciding who has it, and shaping the product around those people.
Pitching to a room
Explaining their idea out loud, then answering questions on the spot.
Using AI with care
Sketching logos and testing names with AI, and checking what it gets wrong.
They make
A prototype, a logo, and a pitch
A model of their product made with supplies we provide, a logo they designed with AI, and the pitch they give on Pitch Day.
You get
A seat at Pitch Day
You join the call on Pitch Day, watch the pitches, and ask questions the way a customer would.

Questions about Business Lab
Can my child join partway through?
Business Lab builds one product over 4 Saturdays, so kids start together on week 1. If a group has already started, we'll save your child a spot when the next one begins.
Where is Pitch Day?
Online, at the usual time of 9 to 10 am. We send parents a link to join the call, watch the pitches, and ask questions, like customers would.
Do kids sell anything for real?
No. It's a fictional business: kids work out what their product would cost to make and what to charge, but nothing is sold and no money changes hands. Supplies for their prototype are included.
How do kids use AI?
Kids use AI tools on our platform to sketch logos and test product names, with the club leader guiding them. They learn to check what AI gets wrong, too. They never need their own account, and their work is never sold.
What if my child misses a week?
The group keeps going. We send what the group worked on, so your child can catch up before the next week. You don't pay for a week your child misses, as long as you tell us 24 hours before.
