Is the IDEA Centre right for you?
If you're ready for fresh experiences and have an idea for a business or social venture, this is your chance to work on it while you are in high school!
​
You'll get to work on your project all morning or afternoon, honing your idea while connecting with business advisers and community leaders while collaborating with fellow students from across the district. Past students have launched bands, crafted sell-able art for local markets, developed video games, and so much more! The possibilities are endless!
No idea? No problem! If you're excited to explore and discover one, this program is the perfect fit for you!
What will I do?
With guidance from local mentors, community support, and access to modern technology, you will cultivate critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving skills in a way that goes far beyond the typical curriculum.
This course teaches you how to work independently and demands that you are hard working, supportive of others, and are a great team player.
Validate your business concept with market research, financial insights, and prep to confidently pitch your idea to others!
