Which high school students are suitable for the program?

Have your own project
I have already started doing something for my project. For example, there is already a chatbot that allows you to order coffee from the nearest coffee shop.

Have a project idea
I haven't started implementing it yet. For example, the problem of using large amounts of plastic is so worrying that you want to be involved in solving it; you have an idea for recycling plastic, how to do it efficiently and simply.

Without a project idea
There is an interest in one or more areas of activity. For example, programming and games are so fascinating that during the course of an educational program an idea may be born to create a training platform for gamers.

What do we teach?

Market and client
Analyze the market, consumer and competitors.

Product
Test hypotheses, create MVPs and analyze product metrics.

Business modeling
Prepare financial modeling, calculate unit economics and create a business model for a startup.

Investments
Create an investment deck and professionally communicate with investors.
