Launch Lab is a fast-paced, hands-on entrepreneurship class where high school students create, pitch, and refine their own business ideas—Shark Tank style. From spotting real-world problems to developing innovative solutions, students will learn how to think like entrepreneurs, build simple business plans, understand their target audience, and deliver compelling pitches. Throughout the semester, students will also hear from a variety of guest CEOs and entrepreneurs who will share their stories, mistakes, insights, and practical wisdom from the business world. These real-world voices give students a window into what it actually takes to start something from scratch and succeed. Students will work in teams, build prototypes or concepts, learn basic marketing and branding, and receive real-time feedback. The semester wraps up with a full pitch event where students present to a panel in true Shark Tank fashion. This class is perfect for creative thinkers, builders, problem-solvers, and any student who wants to turn ideas into reality while developing confidence, communication, and leadership skills.
