Kong Academy HQ — Entrepreneurship

My 12-year-old son just wrapped up his first month at Kong Academy HQ's Entrepreneurship program in Seattle, and overall, we're pleased. The instructors, like Lena, were attentive and seemed genuinely interested in fostering creativity. The kids worked on developing their own business ideas, and my son came up with a unique concept for a local bike rental service. I appreciated the small group size; it allowed for more personalized attention. One hiccup was the additional costs for materials that weren’t outlined upfront, which added some unexpected expenses. However, the supportive and inclusive environment made it worthwhile. My son has already made a friend, and he looks forward to the weekly sessions. If you're considering this program, be prepared for some extra costs but know that your child will have opportunities to grow and learn in a friendly setting.

My child has been attending the Kong Academy HQ Entrepreneurship program in Seattle for the past eight weeks, and overall, it's been a good experience. The instructor, Mia, has been incredibly engaging and is great at explaining complex concepts in a way that resonates with the kids. They focus on real-world applications of business ideas, and my child has loved working in small groups to create a mock startup. Just the other day, they built a prototype for a new eco-friendly gadget, which sparked a lot of excitement. One downside is the long lines during drop-off and pickup; it can be a bit of a hassle. However, the supportive environment and the creative projects make it worth it. If your child is creative and interested in entrepreneurship, I'd say it's a solid program that offers valuable skills.
