THE CHALLENGE

A profound gap exists between the knowledge and skills most students traditionally learn in school and the knowledge and skills they need for success in an increasingly more competitive, connected, and technology driven workplace.

OUR SOLUTION

An advanced immersive tech curriculum that teaches learners to be computational thinkers who can utilize technology to innovate and solve complex problems. Our curriculum is rooted upon computational thinking, structured around our Digital Economy. It merges Entrepreneurship, Software Development, 21st Century Skills, and Web 2.0 Technologies.

WHICH TRACK IS RIGHT FOR YOUR LEARNERS?

IDEALStudent Startup is our flagship STEAM program.

Through a hackathon students are presented with a challenge to identify and solve a complex technical problem with a social impact by building a web site or app. Grouped into small teams, students present their final solution through a Demo Day Pitch competition.

We offer three tracks that service teachers, educators, and parents/guardians of middle – high school students:

For School Districts and Educators, we offer the Web and App Track.

For Parents looking to help give their teens a tech competitive edge, we offer the Bootcamp Track.

Enhanced Curriculum Option

It’s one thing to build great tech that creates value for others. It’s another to use that tech to also create value for yourself. The Advanced Monetization module can be added to the Web and Bootcamp Track to monetize a product or service, and to the App Track as a fundraising option.
