- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
At LaunchX, we teach students how to create viable startup companies in high school. We are hosting our final event of the year, Global Demo Day, on MIT Campus. We're hosting a Global Demo Day for our top 18 student companies (out of over 1,000 actively participating student-run startups). We invite students to MIT campus to pitch their companies, network, and participate in workshops regarding next steps for their companies. We are looking for a few volunteers to help with event logistics, helping check student teams in, handing out pamphlets, getting teams ready for their pitch etc. We are looking for mentors and volunteers to get involved on Friday, April 27th and Saturday, April 28th.
Friday- Martin Trust Center- 5:30pm to 8:30pm EST
Sat- Tang Center- 8:00am-3:30pm EST
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 813-494-1714.

Mission Statement
We want to empower students to create something real in high school. We encourage them to create the change they want to see in the future by launching their own startups.
Description
We are an after-school program that encourages entrepreneurship at the high school level. This is not a business pitch competition. Our solutions solve real problems, with alumni groups ranging from AI technology to help the vision impaired to a product that catches CO2 emissions from vehicles. We run a 25 week long after-school program, running from September to April. Finalists celebrate their accomplishments by pitching their company in front of a mock board of advisers at MIT. Students are sponsored with grants in their second year of the program to encourage growth in the startups they created in year one. In addition to teaching the basis of entrepreneurship, we want to prepare students for college and the career world by helping them grow 21st century skils.
