Every year there are several teams in our afterschool who produce work that could go into production/to market or, at the very least, be developed into a minimal viable product. These once per week sessions run during the summer break where those from previous afterschool programming can learn about and work on the strategy for commercializing their inventions or apps with mentors from relevant teams at partner companies. After phase one, participants can choose to continue to work during the autumn months through phase two towards a winter accelerator.
