Parent FAQs: Is Desipreneurs Right for My Child?

What is Desipreneurs? It is a skill-building program designed to introduce students (grades 5–11) to the world of entrepreneurship. Participants learn how to identify problems, develop solutions, and understand the basics of launching a venture.

What is this program NOT?

• It is not a daycare or general after-school club: It requires active participation, curiosity, and a willingness to work on projects.

• It is not just for “business kids”: Whether your child wants to be an artist, engineer, or doctor, the leadership and problem-solving skills taught here are universal.

• It is not a competition-only event: While there are pitch elements, the focus is on the process of learning and the growth of the student.

What will my child actually learn? Through our partnership with RALI, students focus on:

• Foundational Entrepreneurship: Understanding markets and value creation.

• Leadership & Teamwork: Collaborating with peers to refine ideas.

• Public Speaking: Gaining confidence by presenting their concepts to others.
