Your students don't study entrepreneurship here.
They log in and build a business.
Free professional development, every lesson prepared for you, and a live platform where children aged 10 to 15 create a founder profile, build a real business page, and pitch what they made.

CPD that adds a genuinely new capability — not another certificate for the folder
Most professional development teaches you a variation of what you already do. This teaches you something almost no educator in your school can currently deliver: how to run a multi-year entrepreneurship programme where students build real businesses online.
It is free for every educator at a partner institution, delivered online around your timetable, and you receive a certificate of completion for your professional record.
Certificate of completion
Issued on finishing your training, recording the hours completed. Suitable for your CPD/PD portfolio and annual professional review.
Ongoing, not one-off
Additional sessions stay free for as long as you teach the programme. Request a refresher, a deep-dive, or help with a specific cycle at any point in the year.
A skill that follows you
Entrepreneurship education is one of the fastest-growing areas in K–12 worldwide. Educators who can teach it are becoming genuinely difficult to replace.
Content platforms give students something to watch.
We give them somewhere to build.
Every educational platform offers videos, e-books and quizzes. Those are the easy part — and students forget them by the following term.
Kid Startupper is different in one fundamental way: it is a working environment, not a library. Students log in and something of theirs exists inside it — a founder profile they wrote, a business they named, a page they designed, connections with young entrepreneurs in other countries.
They are not learning about entrepreneurship. They are doing it, online, while you teach.
A content library
- Students watch videos and read material
- Quizzes prove they watched
- Nothing they make actually exists
- Engagement drops after month one
- Parents see a certificate, and little else
A place where they build
- They create a real founder profile
- They build and manage a live business page
- They connect with peers worldwide
- Badges, levels and the Hackathon keep them coming back
- Parents see something their child actually made
This is why schools tell us the same thing: the children stop asking whether it will be on the test.
What your students actually create
Not assignments they hand in. Things that exist, belong to them, and that they can show anyone.
A founder profile
Their professional identity, written by them — who they are, what they care about, what they want to build.
Cycle 1A real professional network
Students find collaborators in other schools and countries. Fully moderated — no strangers, ever.
Cycle 1A live business page
They name it, brand it, publish it inside the platform, and keep managing it themselves.
Cycle 2A Business Model Canvas
The same strategic tool used by real startups worldwide, completed for their own business.
Cycle 2A complete business plan
A full written plan by the end of Cycle 3 — something most adults never produce.
Cycle 3A pitch they deliver
They stand up, present what they built, and answer questions. That moment changes how a child sees themselves.
Cycle 3 & HackathonYou become the teacher parents ask about by name.
When a child comes home and says “I built a business today”, that conversation is different from every other conversation about school that week. Parents ask which teacher runs it. They mention it to other parents. They ask whether it continues next year.
For a school, this is the single most repeatable word-of-mouth engine there is — and it starts in your classroom.
Why most entrepreneurship programmes quietly die in term two
It isn't the students. It's what gets asked of the teacher.
“Here's a topic. Now go build a curriculum for it.”
A school decides entrepreneurship matters. A teacher is handed the subject and, quietly, the entire job of designing it — content, activities, assessment — on top of a full timetable. By week six, enthusiasm has become admin.
“Here's the lesson. Open it and teach.”
Every session comes with a complete plan, presentation, exercises and quizzes. The platform handles progression, project work and assessment. Preparation is close to zero — which is exactly why it survives past term two.
And yes — everything is prepared for you too
The platform is where students build. This is what we hand you so you never write a lesson from scratch.

Six educational goals, already built in
You don't design these outcomes. They are structured into every lesson and every project students build.
Understanding the business process
Ideas, planning, financing, production and promotion — learned through building, not reading.
Innovation and creativity
Structured techniques for generating ideas. Creativity becomes a practice students can repeat.
Collaboration skills
Working with peers — and with young entrepreneurs from other countries through the network.
Financial management
Budgeting and costing through the Business Model Canvas — the tool real startups use.
Entrepreneurial awareness
Recognising opportunity, and seeing themselves as people who build rather than only consume.
First Principles thinking
Aristotle's method — transfers to maths, science, debate and everything after school.
They arrive to your lesson with ideas you didn't ask for.
Somewhere in the second or third month, students stop treating the session as a subject and start treating it as their own project. They argue about names. They redraw logos. They ask questions you did not prepare for.
The gamification helps. But the real driver is simpler: what they are building inside the platform is genuinely theirs, and they know it.
Teaching STEAM or educational robotics? This completes it.
Your students already build things. What they never learn is what happens next — how an invention becomes a product, and how a project becomes a business.
Take exactly what students built in your STEAM lesson and guide them in turning it into a real startup inside the platform. That bridge is the whole reason it's called Kid Startupper.

What educators ask us
Answered directly.
No — and this is the most important difference. The materials exist, but they are the supporting layer. The platform itself is a working environment where students create a founder profile, build and manage a live business page, connect with young entrepreneurs in other countries, and produce a real business plan. What they make exists inside the platform and belongs to them. That is what keeps children engaged across three years rather than three weeks.
Yes. You receive a certificate of completion recording the hours you completed, suitable for your CPD/PD portfolio and annual professional review. Requirements for recognition vary by country and district, so we recommend confirming with your own authority — we provide the documentation you need to submit.
Yes, for every educator at a partner institution — including during the free 30-day trial. Additional sessions remain free for as long as you teach the programme. There is no separate training fee at any point.
No. Every lesson comes with a complete plan and all materials prepared. Training covers everything in one to two hours. Educators from every background run this successfully — IT, economics, languages, primary generalists.
Very little. Most educators spend ten to fifteen minutes reviewing the plan before a session, and nothing else. Assessment is largely automatic.
Use the login form at the top of this page with the same email and password you use for the platform. If your account has not been created yet, your school administrator can set it up, or contact us directly.
Log in to the training portal, select “Schedule a teleconference” and choose a date and time. Most educators do this from home in the evening.
Select the lesson you need and click to open or download it. Lesson plans and printable PDFs are available for every session.
Yes. The student network is fully moderated — children connect only with other verified students, never with strangers. COPPA and GDPR compliant, McAfee SECURE certified, no advertising. Full detail on our Safety & Compliance page.
Not currently. This is planned as part of a future OpenEducation feature where educators can contribute and share their own resources.
If you have administrator access, go to the Administrator's control panel to see student sections, registrations, emails, payments and progress in real time.
Support runs throughout the academic year. You can request additional CPD sessions at any point — they remain free. Visit our support page.
Give them somewhere to build, not something to memorise.
Most of what we teach gets forgotten. The experience of having an idea, building it online, and defending it out loud does not. Start with the free CPD training and the free trial — you'll know within one session.
