Does your kid have more business ideas than lemonade stand attempts? Astra Camp at Peace University is their time to shine! This two-week summer camp in July turns rising 4th-8th graders into mini-moguls, guiding them through real entrepreneurial projects inspired by MIT’s best. From designing products to launching podcasts, they’ll learn, build, and pitch like pros. Bonus: They’ll make friends who also think spreadsheets are cool. Sign up before the next Zuckerberg beats them to it!
