Students in grades 9-11 are invited to take a course in the basics of launching their own startup, “StartUp_Camp: the path to a dream”. It was developed by teachers of the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute along with the platform “For a lesson”.

During the course, students will learn the basics of financial literacy, tools for implementing projects and principles of team play.

Students are offered three modules:

• 1 module: “Philosophy of Entrepreneurship. How much is the idea? Why is owning a path to adulthood? What is a business and startup?” and “Turn on critical thinking! What are business hypotheses? How to check that you are doing everything right?”;
• 2 module: “Team game. Why do teams win? What is her Dream Team?” and “Leaders of the business pack. Who is a leader and how to become one? CEO – who is he?”;

Upon successful completion of the online course, students will be able to receive certificates, in addition to working with mentors on their own projects.
