At Launchpad23, we provide your child with a supportive environment to develop their unique interests and strengths, and the critical skills and tenacity your child will need to thrive (e.g., agency, communication skills, decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, financial and technological literacy, and leadership skills). We accomplish that growth by providing challenge and community: Weekly Launches. Our weekly launches serve as the backbone of the program, during which your child will select a topic to learn about, based upon their interests and goals, or participate in a team challenge, and work on missions that test their ability to turn their knowledge into effective action. The Launchverse. Your child will also has access to our moderated online community where they will be challenged and learn between sessions with their new friends from around the world. Simply put, at Launchpad23, your child will be challenged to do hard things, and to develop the drive necessary to work at the edge of human understanding in the field of their choosing.
