IDEATE to ACTIVATE

The Gray Matter Experience is excited to introduce its comprehensive IDEATE X ACTIVATE foundational entrepreneurial bootcamp for teens aged 14 to 18. In the first 10 weeks of the IDEATE program, teens cultivate leadership and innovative thinking in a supportive, inclusive environment. They engage with peers and industry experts through guest speakers, mentoring, and practical experiences, all aimed at identifying business solutions and conducting market research on challenges they observe in their communities.

Following this, they progress to the 8-week ACTIVATE phase, where they transform their business ideas into tangible prototypes ready for the market. This phase focuses on refining the customer journey, developing marketing strategies, mastering financial fundamentals, and preparing compelling pitches.

This hybrid model has classes Tues/Thurs online 4:30pm-6:30pm and two Saturdays per month in person from 10am-3pm.

Students will receive a stipend of $500.
