StartUp.lab

What is StartUp.lab?

StartUp.lab provides a different approach to the study of business and entrepreneurship. Rather than learning about the world of business from dusty textbooks, we learn by doing. Students learn about and develop both the mindset of successful entrepreneurs as well as the skills needed for success.

We focus on topic areas such as the entrepreneurial mindset, innovation, disruption, business model thinking, customer relationships and startup culture. While obviously applicable in the world of business and entrepreneurship, the attitudes and skills gained in StartUp.lab will also support students to be successful in school, in their social lives and in their communities.

StartUp.lab provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to take their ideas and get them and started.
