Girls Build — Entrepreneurship

I enrolled my 12-year-old daughter in the Girls Build — Entrepreneurship program in Portland, and overall, it was a solid experience. The program was structured well, allowing her to engage in creative projects like designing her own mock business plan and pitching it to the group. The instructor, Emily, was incredibly supportive and provided valuable feedback, which really helped the girls feel confident in expressing their ideas. However, I did notice that check-in and pick-up times could get a bit chaotic, as there were long lines on the first day. Thankfully, the small group size meant my daughter received plenty of attention, which was a relief. She came home excited about entrepreneurship and even made a new friend! If you're considering this for your child, I’d recommend it, but be prepared for some initial crowding at drop-off and pick-up.

I took my daughter, who's 12, to the Girls Build — Entrepreneurship program in Portland, and she really enjoyed it. The instructor, Mia, was incredibly engaging and made the sessions interactive. My daughter worked on a project where she developed her own business idea for a homemade soap line, which was not only fun but also taught her valuable skills. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, I felt the cost was a bit steep at $250, especially considering the additional materials we had to buy for the projects. Despite this, my daughter has made some friends and is eager to continue developing her ideas. Overall, I recommend this program for creative and enthusiastic girls, just be prepared for some extra costs along the way.
