Problem or Opportunity

Children being enrolled in school does not always ensure they will get the necessary skills
needed to create or even pursue entrepreneurship. With the current trends of AI and
automation disrupting jobs, it is extremely valuable and future-forward to have children grow up
to become creative problem-solvers, builders, innovators, critical thinkers, and entrepreneurs,
in whatever they choose to do. The Moonshot Jr experience goes beyond learning STEAM
skills. We also work tirelessly to equip your children with entrepreneurial skills through
experiential learning and productization. Our advanced programs – the Builder and the
Innovator offer a complete end-to-end product-first journey for kids to take their learning and
ideas and turn them into tangible products and businesses. We envision utilizing our unique
product-first approach to raise the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators
that will drive solutions to our society’s biggest challenges. Moonshot Jr offers entrepreneurial
and innovation-centric programs and educational courses for kids who wish to explore their
passions while also learn invaluable skills that help them with their resumes, college education,
and careers. Moreover, our programs also focus on training the trainers i.e. parents with which
they can take this cycle of innovation and entrepreneurship forward even without our
assistance, once their children graduate from our programs.
