1. What age group is this course designed for?
This course is created for children in Grade 5 and 6 (approximately 10-12)

2. Does my child need advanced reading or writing skills?
No. We welcome all reading and writing levels. Children can share their ideas through drawings, short sentences, or recorded audio/videos. Light adult support may be helpful for younger or emerging readers.

3. How much time will this course take each week?
The total recommended time is about 2–3 hours weekly, which includes watching short videos, doing hands-on activities, and participating in a group discussion or Zoom call. This can be broken into smaller segments based on the child’s attention span.

4. Do I need special technology or software for my child to participate?
You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a device to watch videos and access the discussion forums (computer or tablet), and a way to record or upload your child’s responses (a webcam, smartphone, or tablet camera). No additional paid software is required.

5. How will my child interact with classmates and the teacher?
Children will post their work (text, drawings, short videos) in an online discussion forum. They can also comment on classmates’ posts. There are two live sessions a week. One is for structured discussions and the other is shaped around tasks and activities that introduce your child to Entrepreneurship concepts.

6. What kind of support should I provide as a parent or guardian?
Parents can assist with basic tasks such as uploading photos or videos, helping with reading prompts, and encouraging the child to articulate ideas. An adult presence is also recommended during live Zoom sessions to ensure a safe, positive experience.

7. Is there homework or graded assignments?
The course focuses on creativity and expression rather than grades. Students will complete weekly activities and submit their work, but feedback is largely encouraging and skill-building oriented. There’s no formal grading scale.

8. What if my child is shy and doesn’t like speaking in front of others?
We encourage children to participate in a way that feels comfortable—this could be drawings, short written pieces, or recorded audio/video if speaking live feels too intimidating at first. Over time, we’ll gently help them build confidence.

9. Will my child learn practical skills beyond Entrepreneurship?
Yes! They’ll also practice critical thinking, empathy (understanding others’ perspectives), and basic public speaking. These are foundational skills that can be applied to many areas of life and learning.

10. How can we continue practicing after the course ends?
We provide optional “next steps” and fun activities to keep your child innovating at home. You can encourage them to notice everyday problems, brainstorm solutions, and share their ideas with friends, family, or community members—even after the course ends!
