Project Launch Pad is a high-energy, 8-session “startup incubator” where teens don’t just learn about business—they build one from the ground up. In just four weeks, each team will transform a simple idea into a fully functional T-shirt brand, mastering everything from high-level graphic design and professional garment printing to marketing their own brand and developing business plans.

This isn't your average project; it’s a race to the finish line. Participants will spend the first two weeks mastering the "Blueprint," where they’ll design their logos and learn the secrets of pricing for profit. In the last two weeks, it’s time for the "Launch," where they’ll hit the print shop to create custom apparel, build a digital hype machine, and pitch their brand "Shark Tank" style. By the final day, their online store goes live, giving them the chance to sell their designs globally and walk away with the skills, the gear, and the mindset of a real entrepreneur.
