Two age-tiered programs. Real customer interviews. Real prototypes. Real pitches to a real panel of judges. All built around our core belief: every child has an entrepreneur in them.
Pup Tank for Grades 1–3 builds the entrepreneur's mindset through play and storytelling. Our Entrepreneurship program for Grades 4+ teaches real customer validation, real financial models, and authentic pitch craft.
Combine entrepreneurship with our award-winning robotics curriculum, and your child won't just pitch an idea — they'll pitch a working prototype they built themselves with LEGO SPIKE, VEX, or Hummingbird.
Every learner who stands up and pitches is a winner. Our Shark Tank-style showcases are warm, supportive, and never about ranking — because the goal is courage, not competition.
Wize delivers entrepreneurship through two distinct programs designed to meet learners where they are developmentally — both mindset-first, both project-based, both ending in a real pitch in front of a real audience.
A friendly, age-appropriate first taste of entrepreneurship. Through five short units and a celebratory pitch showcase, our youngest learners discover that a business is "a fun way to help people solve a problem." They study famous figures who failed many times before succeeding, build their first product or service idea, design a logo, and stand up in front of an audience to pitch it. There is no rejection, no ranking — every Pup pitcher earns recognition and walks away believing in themselves.
The real thing — at a learner-appropriate scale. Students identify problems in their own lives, conduct genuine customer-discovery interviews, build a complete business plan with real pricing and cost math, design marketing materials, prototype their solution (visually, physically, or as a working robot), and pitch their business to a panel of judges Shark Tank-style. This program prepares learners for high school DECA, real entrepreneurship pursuits, and the kind of confidence that comes from having actually done it.
All three formats are available as 5-day camps, multi-week courses, and weekend intensives. Pick the one that fits your learner.
A focused deep-dive into building, planning, marketing, and pitching a business idea. Best for learners who want to concentrate purely on the business-building experience.
Students build a real website for their business using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — the website becomes both their marketing platform and their pitch artifact. Recommended for Grades 5+.
Students design and build a working robot prototype that demonstrates their business idea. Available with LEGO SPIKE Essential for younger learners, or LEGO SPIKE Prime, VEX IQ, and Hummingbird for older learners.
This isn't role-play. Watch Wize learners pitch businesses they actually built — and imagine your own child up there next.

Real reviews from parents whose children went through Wize programs.
After watching my daughter and other kids learn to code at Wize Academy, I am super impressed with how they teach. The kids had all the freedom to choose what they wanted to build, and parents were invited to the last session where the kids presented. I loved it! That was quite a proud moment for me both as her dad, and as a fellow geek.
Enrolling Ibrahim with Wize Academy three years ago has sparked a hidden talent. Your teaching has helped him discover his true passion. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for working with him and always encouraging him.
My daughter has really enjoyed your class. It's been the best one all summer! Thanks so much for engaging the kids so well.
This isn't another generic "creative thinking" enrichment class. Here's what's specifically different about how Wize teaches entrepreneurship — and what your child takes home from it.
Every learner pitches in front of a panel of judges — parents, instructors, and in some cohorts, real entrepreneurs. This isn't role-play. It's authentic stage experience that benefits every future academic and professional path.
Through case studies of teen entrepreneurs — Mikaila Ulmer's lemonade business at age 4, Mo Bridges's bow ties at age 9, the Trashbots founders' robotics company in middle school — learners internalize that successful entrepreneurs fail many times before they succeed.
Math (pricing, costs, profit margins), language arts (storytelling, persuasive writing, presentation), art and design (logos, posters, marketing materials), and — in the robotics-integrated stream — engineering and computer science. Entrepreneurship pulls everything together.
Pup Tank in Grades 1–3 → Entrepreneurship in Grades 4–8 → DECA preparation in high school. Wize is among the only kids' entrepreneurship programs with a cohesive K–12 pathway.
