Our Programs
“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”
– Lao Tzu
At Emergent Minds, we take a different approach in empowering students to go beyond traditional learning. Rather than focusing solely on concepts and coursework, our programs are designed to give students something more impactful—real-world experiences. We provide a supportive environment where students can explore, create, and discover more about themselves, their passions, and the possibilities ahead.
High school Launchpad
This one-day pitch event is designed for high school students with an existing venture or business idea! Its goal is to select teams for admission into Emergent Mind’s high school LaunchPad Program.
Our initiative helps students scale their businesses by offering resources such as website development, promotional content, and business mentorship!
Participants will meet with us bi-weekly to receive personalized feedback and support. We also provide them with marketing opportunities, enabling students to showcase and sell their products to real customers.
TrailBlazer Cohort
Before launching a large-scale program, we refined our vision with a smaller, focused group through the TrailBlazer Cohort.
Each week, students gathered at a Public Library to attend meetings that combined short lectures with collaborative activities. In the remaining time, they worked to turn their ideas into tangible products, building their teamwork abilities and getting a glimpse of entrepreneurship along the way.
This spring, their hard work will be showcased as they sell their creations at a local crafts market where they’ll have the opportunity to see how well their preparation pays off.
Summer of Discovery
This summer, we’ll be expanding our program to primarily serve students in low-income communities. The program is designed to spark curiosity, offering a blend of interactive activities, collaborative group work, and personal growth. By the end of the summer, students will not only have gained hands-on experience bringing their ideas to reality, but also developed valuable life skills and new possibilities for their futures.
Stay tuned for more information!
