StartUp.Lab

The H-Farm Pathway, a unique program that sees students building the personal, social and knowledge-based skills needed to succeed in an unknown future.

This program includes:

Ignition.lab
StartUp.lab (this course)
H-Skills.lab
Acceleration.lab

Although delivered as four separate programs, the four labs are closely coordinated to support student growth and achievement toward the H-Farm Pathway goals.

Together, these programs provide students with real entrepreneurial experiences while developing their confidence, collaboration and communication skills. The skills gained can be used to launch businesses, but also in employment, study, family and relationships.

Ignition.lab

Every week, our MYP4 and MYP5 students meet creators, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers and thinkers who are making an impact in their community. Our guests share their story and what has motivated them to pursue their life’s path, inspiring the next generation to dream big, set themselves a challenge and to make an impact.

Ignition.lab provides students with inspiration that can ignite their own imagination and ideas.

StartUp.lab provides a different approach to the study of business and entrepreneurship. 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.lab provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to take their ideas and get them and started.

H-Skills.lab

Acceleration.lab

H-Skills.lab provides students with an understanding of themselves, their strengths and the importance of human relationships.

We look at communication, self presentation, leadership, decision making and problem solving.

H-Skills.lab provides students with the personal and social tools needed to thrive in a modern economy.

Students work in teams, supported by experts from the H.Farm network, to develop an entrepreneurial response to issues of social importance in their community.

They pitch their product idea to partners, investors and customers on Demo Night - asking for a financial or resource commitment to support the delivery of the product before the end of the school year.

Acceleration.lab provides students with a chance to apply the learning and skills from the other programs to a real world situation with an authentic audience for their product.
