ABOUT US

A Unique Extracurricular Opportunity for Students to Become Entrepreneurs

Our After-School Programs provide a structured, engaging environment where students can dive deeper into entrepreneurship. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and project development, students are empowered to turn their ideas into real businesses—all while building the skills they need to succeed in any career.

Our Program Features & Structure

Our after-school programs are designed to foster entrepreneurship by providing students with hands-on experiences and mentorship that extend beyond the traditional classroom setting.

Through engaging activities, workshops, and real-world projects, participants will develop essential skills to launch and grow their own businesses, empowering them to become innovative leaders of tomorrow.

Your child won’t just learn business—they’ll run a business. Here’s how the year breaks down:

Business Fundamentals

Students learn the core elements of entrepreneurship, from business planning and marketing to financial management. Each session is designed to build on previous lessons, guiding students through the entrepreneurial journey.

Hands-On Project Development

Students work in teams to develop real businesses, applying their knowledge to projects that culminate in a final pitch presentation. This collaborative environment fosters creativity, leadership, and teamwork.

Duration & Weekly Sessions

Our after-school programs run for 8-12 weeks, with weekly 2-hour sessions. During these sessions, students dive into entrepreneurship and work on building their businesses

Pitch Presentations & Collaboration

At the end of the program, students present their business projects to a panel of educators and industry professionals. The collaborative environment ensures that students learn to work together, develop leadership skills, and showcase their entrepreneurial talents.

Participating in the Young Entrepreneur Camp was a transformative experience for my students. They gained invaluable skills in business development, leadership, and teamwork that will serve them well in their future endeavors. The camp provided a unique platform for them to explore their creativity and turn their ideas into actionable plans. Watching them collaborate, innovate, and present their projects was truly inspiring. I have no doubt that this experience has not only equipped them with essential entrepreneurial skills but also boosted their confidence and passion for pursuing their dreams.

Today our students had the opportunity of taking part in a session with Coach Carl, they learned a lot about how to become an entrepreneur. It was a great session because the students had a chance to look through some materials, find out what they want to do in life and they were even given information of how they can go about being an entrepreneur when they are adults. The students started thinking now what do , "what I like to do?". What are some things that I probably can change in the future?

So today was definitely a great, great session, we are so great. Glad that we had a coach Carl come and speak to our students and we hope to have them come back and speak to some more in the fall.

Carl has been an incredible support for our staff and scholars in implementing 3DE at Potomac. He’s a subject matter expert in business and entrepreneurship—more than that, he’s a full-time entrepreneur who invests wholeheartedly in his community and youth. For the past two years, he’s chosen to do this work at our public high school, and we’re beyond grateful.

As a judge, facilitator of our boot camp workshops, and provider of summer camp services, his contributions have been invaluable. Last year, he even awarded scholarships to our winning students. His support has truly prepared our students for success in entrepreneurship. We’re so thankful for everything he’s done for us.
