The goal was simple yet very noble; give people a creative and hands-on experience that guides them on how to take risks and discover important value propositions that can impact the world around them while leveraging their own story.
We seek to bridge the gap created by schools that are falling short in educating our children for a 21st-century world. We achieve this through cutting edge School Programs, high-impact Workshops, fun, and immersive Summer Camps and intensive and highly unique Youth Summits as well as through our brand new, one of a kind, Online Platform.
OUR 5 PILLARS
- STORY
Participants are challenged to tap into their own story and realize its amazing power. - TEAM
Participants work in teams so as to experience, learn, and understand the power of effective collaboration. - BUILD
Participants explore multiple processes of modeling a creative thought from ideation to execution but with the focus always on the builder and never the methodology. - PIVOT
Participants use critical thinking to move from ideation to actual solution and value proposition creation, understanding that failure is the best learning tool - PITCH
We explore the true art of effective communication and the importance of selling yourself through self-branding to understand the power of self and the power of relationships.

"Entrepreneurship is not something we can teach the masses using innovative charts, models and fancy textbooks. Entrepreneurship is a mindset. Instead, we must facilitate opportunities that allow people access to entrepreneurship using learning by doing and looking to failure to force the use of creativity and autonomous action. By doing that we give people a chance to identify their potential to think different by transforming their mindsets as they evolve."
