Find, design, test, pitch · In person
Research a real problem, design a costed prototype, test it, and present a pitch and next-step plan.
Private preview. Sessions, dates and prices shown are illustrative, and nothing on this page can be booked.
Four stages take a learner from a question to a pitch.
Stage 1 · Find
Research a problem that matters to real people.
Stage 2 · Design
Sketch a solution and work out what it would cost to make.
Stage 3 · Test
Try the idea out, learn from the results and decide what to do next.
Stage 4 · Pitch
Present a pitch and a plan for the next step.
This sample group is for students in grades 9–12 who want to practise leading a project from first question to final pitch.
Separate youth and adult groups are planned. Only the grades 9–12 sample session is shown here. Because participants are students, a real registration would involve a parent or guardian. That step has not been confirmed.
This is an in-person workshop at a Long Island hub, which is a partner-operated venue. It is not an online session. There are twelve 90-minute sessions, 18 contact hours in all, on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).
Illustrative schedule: about six weeks of Wednesday and Saturday sessions. Individual dates, holiday adjustments, the venue and the facilitator are to be confirmed. See the Long Island hub page for hub information.
We separate what is in the programme plan from example package details that still need to be confirmed.

In the intended flow, this is where you would sign in or create a PointUp membership. Because participants are in grades 9–12, a parent or guardian step is expected. This preview does not create an account or ask for a password.
Sample data only. These are display fields, not a form, and nothing is sent or kept.
Example terms below are placeholders until real terms are confirmed.
Not yet. This page is a private preview of the registration experience. Sessions, dates and prices are illustrative, and nothing here is booked or charged.
No. The first stage is about finding and researching a problem, so learners do not need to arrive with an idea.
Examples used in class are fictional teaching examples. They are not testimonials or real results.
Separate youth and adult groups are planned, but only the grades 9–12 sample session is shown in this preview.
