Launch It! — The Teen Creator CEO Learning Lab

A Faith-Driven Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Innovation Experience for Ages 13–17

3 Days a Week • Hands-On Innovation • 18 Weeks of Purpose & Impact

“Turn Your Ideas Into Impact.” — Ephesians 2:10

Imagine a program where your teen learns to build a business with confidence, purpose, and faith.

At Edison Kids, teens don’t just learn about entrepreneurship — they become creators, leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers.

In the Launch It! Learning Lab, your teen doesn’t sit in lectures… they dream, design, plan, build, test, pitch, and launch.

Every week blends faith, leadership, engineering, design, and real-world entrepreneurship.

They learn to think like innovators.
They learn to lead like Christ.
They learn to build with purpose.
And they discover the calling God placed inside them.


What Makes the Launch It! Learning Lab Different

✔️ Faith-Guided Leadership

Start each day with Scripture + a devotional on calling, purpose, excellence, stewardship, and God-centered leadership.

✔️ Hands-On Entrepreneurship

Teens build real prototypes, solve real problems, and learn real entrepreneurial frameworks — Lean Canvas, user empathy, testing cycles, iteration, and pitch development.

✔️ Engineering + Innovation

Students learn structural design, digital modeling, refinement, testing, and product development using TinkerCAD, SketchUp, Scratch, Python, and Canva.

✔️ Leadership Development

Communication. Teamwork. Problem-solving. Confidence. Vision. Responsibility. Teens learn how to lead themselves — and others.

✔️ Small Cohort for Deep Mentorship

Limited to 12 students to ensure every teen receives personal guidance on their project, leadership style, and growth.
