Question 1

How will Launchpad23 help my child?

Accepted Answer

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. See examples (https://www.launchpad23.org/4fun)

Question 2

What does each launch entail?

Accepted Answer

Each 90-minute launch involves three, distinct phases:

• Convene (~10 minutes). The introduction to the launch during which your child will reconnect, share their accomplishments from the week, and do warm-up exercises to get their brains ready.

• Consider (~50 minutes). Your child will choose which topic they want to learn about based upon their interests and personal goals, or participate in a challenge with their team. All topics and challenges involve hands-on learning with an emphasis on applied mastery.

• Combine (~30 minutes). During combine, your child will work with their Dream Team on project management, executive functioning, and interpersonal skills while tackling a Mission (project) of your child's choosing.
Our students typically do not want to leave when the time is up, but if you have concerns about the session length, remember that we have a 14-day free trial, so your child can see what they think!

How much does Launchpad23 cost?
