We are committed to equipping young people with the essential skills and experiences necessary for a future of entrepreneurship and innovation. By leveraging the power of Virtual Reality (VR), we provide elementary school, middle school, and high school students with immersive and transformative journeys that extend beyond the boundaries of their physical surroundings.
Our mission is to support ideas, technologies, and leaders. Young people drive innovation, and our Youth Entrepreneurship program was created to foster the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Our vision is to leverage entrepreneurship, technology, partnerships, and global resources to impact the wealth of our communities.
Entrepreneurship Education
Lemonade Day is a fun, hands-on program that teaches our local youth how to start, own, and operate their very own business – a lemonade stand. Each year in participating cities, young, local community members have the opportunity to experience the power of entrepreneurship.
Accelerator Program
Our Launchpad accelerator workshop teaches the fundamentals of entrepreneurship to build important skill sets: confidence, leadership, and communication. At the end of the program, students can register to do business in the State of Ohio, learn to pitch, and get financial literacy training.
Virtual Reality
By leveraging new, 21st-century technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), we provide students with immersive and transformative journeys that extend beyond the boundaries of their current ecosystem. We’re proud to remove the barriers of time, distance, and access with immersive simulations.
