We hope to see a world where students are confident in voicing and implementing their ideas. A world where students not only notice but actively contribute to solving global challenges, starting from their own local communities. We empower students to develop an entrepreneurial, problem-solving mindset, connecting them with other students across the world to ignite a global movement.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Struggling to implement and scale an app of my own in Design class as a sophomore, conversations with friends revealed to me the scale of the problem. Many students required support in their building journey. I wished to share my learnings and experiences to help other students face the challenges I had faced. This was my way of giving back.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

We follow a 3-pronged approach to enable students’ learning. Engaging curriculum vetted by experts and tested in pilots builds a knowledge base. Expert interviews provide students insights on real-life applications of skills. Guided assignments handhold students as they create their own projects. Throughout the process, support from the community and our network of volunteers empowers students.

How has it been spreading?

We have a hybrid structure. Our physical chapters have expanded LaunchPad from 1 school to 15 schools across 5 countries, each chapter led by an ambitious and innovative regional lead. On the other hand, our digital platform provides access to our curriculum, content and network to students across the world completely free.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

Simply go onto our platform (launchpad.net.in) and sign up! From there, you will be guided through the website and receive a welcome mail with details. If you wish to setup a physical chapter in your school/region you can reach out to us through the contact form on the website or via email (contact@launchpad.net.in).
