The Curriculum

What Kids Learn

Every founder starts somewhere. Explorers (ages 6–8) and Builders (ages 9–14) each follow their own story-driven path, building real skills at just the right pace for their age.

Explorers — Ages 6–8 — Welcome to Maple Village

Big adventures begin with curious minds!

Join Evi, Andrew, Lily, Bruno, Mr. Oak, and Scrappy as they solve fun challenges, discover new ideas, and learn the exciting basics of creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurship through imaginative stories and hands-on activities.

Each week unfolds as a new story chapter — kids learn through the characters' adventures, not lectures.
Builders — Ages 9–14 — Welcome to Northbridge

Dream bigger. Build smarter. Lead with confidence.

Welcome to Northbridge, where Codie, Alex, Sam, Nadia, Iman, and Ms. Torres turn everyday challenges into exciting opportunities. Through teamwork, innovation, and real-world business adventures, they'll inspire young builders to think like future entrepreneurs.
