VENTURE LAB SUMMER CAMPS
The FIRST Entrepreneurship Academy for Kids VentureLab is an academy that introduces kids to entrepreneurship and provides 21st century skills that prepare students for leadership in the rapidly shifting job market.
Being an entrepreneur means more than simply starting your own business. Entrepreneurs are able to anticipate needs, innovate, create and take calculated risks in order to succeed. When kids are exposed to entrepreneurial thinking, a profound change takes place. They learn to think their ability to tackle challenges. Our collective mission is to help young people discover their passions and use technology to turn their ideas into

VENTURE LAB SUMMER CAMPS
From Our Founder I get excited as each summer approaches, because that means that kids are about level of of education education that that to get a whole new kind is not currently taught in schools today. We believe that encouraging children to learn about entrepreneurship helps them gain awareness of their future-and that they can shape and forge their own unique path forward. We are simply the guides and mentors that help them turn their passions into real-world careers. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with your children-we promise to do everything we can to make your child’s experience life changing, and one that will impact them for the rest of their lives.
