The purpose of Launchpad is
Success in Launchpad means to discover a next step in your Hero's Journey so you launch out of high school with a vision and a calling that could change the world.
We plan to re-open our High School Studio – Launchpad – to new learners in the next few years, as founding students from the lower studios mature to build this fast-paced work environment.
Launchpadders get ready for real-world success by gaining valuable skills, mastering them through apprenticeships, and launching real startups, businesses and projects – whether that's in business, science, humanities, or the arts. Apprenticeships increase in length and complexity, so by the time a young person leaves Launchpad they have a portfolio of real-world work to prove what they can do.
