ENTREPRENEURIAL LEARNING
The StartUp Club, supported by Junior Achievement North, empowers students like the Relataspace team to develop essential entrepreneurial skills and launch successful ventures. Under the guidance of mentor Austin O'Brion and teacher Philip Schut, students engage in after-school activities where they devise solutions to community needs, craft business plans, and participate in competitions. The team includes Lennox Tan, Isabella Shi, Sidharth Sharm, and Sorelle Tan. Lennox Tan, the CEO, highlighted the importance of combatting the challenges of conversing in a world dominated by screens, inspiring the creation of a game that facilitates engaging discussions through familiar scenarios.
