LAUNCH

Prodicity

LAUNCH

An 8-week intensive accelerator to help our students identify their strengths, set clear objectives, and ship a real-world outcome during the summer break.

Program Details

Summer offers a unique opportunity for deep, uninterrupted work LAUNCH is designed to replace the fragmentation of the school year with a singular focus. Over eight weeks, students enter a highly-paced, structured environment. The objective is simple: move from a concept to a tangible, public outcome, whether that is a published research paper, a successful startup, or a completed internship portfolio.

LAUNCH runs for 8 weeks, from June to August, primarily virtually to accommodate participants globally, with optional in-person meetups in select cities, if feasible. The format involves 10-40 hours per week, allowing flexibility for other summer commitments.

How it's structured

Sessions include mentor-led discussions, independent work, and group check-ins. All materials and tools are provided digitally.

1. Weeks 1-2

Introduce Clarity— Students select a track and rigor-test their hypothesis. The focus is on market research, literature review, and defining the scope of the project.

2. Weeks 3-6

Accelerator Phase— Students work in daily sprints with 1-on-1 mentor guidance to build the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), collect data, or execute internship deliverables.

3. Weeks 7-8

Complete— Students prepare their work for public release. This includes writing pre-print papers, launching products to users, and preparing final presentations for the Demo Day showcase.

Research: Conduct novel inquiry under the guidance of PhD mentors. The deliverable is a pre-print paper or poster ready for submission.

Internships: Secure a placement at a startup or research lab. The deliverable is a verified portfolio of professional work and a letter of recommendation.

Competition Prep: Rigorous preparation for prestigious awards. The deliverable is a finalized entry for Olympiads, ISEF, or Scholastic.

Mentorship & Support

Mentors are accomplished professionals, including founders from institutions such as Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley, who started their ventures during their high school years. Each participant receives one-on-one guidance to navigate challenges and refine their work.

Support includes peer groups for collaboration, access to resources like project templates and online tools, and regular feedback sessions. This structure ensures steady progress and addresses any obstacles promptly.
