Expand Your 3 Pillars of Entrepreneurship: Skills, Mindset, People
Develop your entrepreneurial skills and mindset.
Students succeed in life when they have the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur.
Customer Discovery
Understanding your customers is the only way to success. You’ll learn how to conduct customer interviews, analyze and synthesize your findings, and come away with real learnings to apply to your next idea.
Ideation + Prototyping
It all starts with an idea. We’ll take you through the tried and true methods you can use to come up with your own startup-worthy ideas. Then we’ll go over the tools for rapid prototyping so you can make your idea real, fast.
Product Testing + Selling
Learn how to identify your target market, find your first customers, and generate revenue, while iterating and improving your product.
With COVID-19 we have rearranged our camp schedule. Please contact us for the most up-to-date information for camps in your area.
Teacher Training
Everything you need to launch an interactive entrepreneurial experience in your classroom.
Resources and teacher training designed for educators that includes videos, animated series, toolkits, startup simulator, handbook, and recorded masterclasses. Plus, optional 1-on-1 coaching, facilitation, and workshops hosted by the Next Wave team. We work hand-in-hand with educators around the world to support young people in their entrepreneurial journey. We’d love to work with you, too!
