Discover how VentureLab’s unique ESTEAM framework merges entrepreneurship with STEM and the arts to foster innovation and critical thinking among youth. Our curriculum not only teaches important STEM skills but also applies them in creative, real-world contexts, empowering students to become motivated, team-oriented, and problem-solving innovators. Explore our approach to making STEM concepts relatable and engaging, particularly for girls and younger students, through hands-on projects and entrepreneurial education.
Teaching girls to think like entrepreneurs can be the key to unlocking their potential in STEM fields. At VentureLab, we encourage girls to innovate, problem-solve and take calculated risks, and we’ve seen a profound change in their enthusiasm and confidence as a result. By exposing girls to entrepreneurial concepts at a young age, they become more aware of opportunities around them and learn to think creatively. We’ve even seen 5-year-old students become entrepreneurs by identifying a problem, conducting market research, and ultimately creating a successful product. If we want more women innovators, we need to teach girls to observe and anticipate needs, innovate, and take risks.
