School hasn't caught up with AI. Your child can.

Three structured weeks in the school holidays. Your child builds a real product with founders as mentors, and you see the numbers every Friday.

Students under 18, real money and real customers. So the rules are strict, and written down.

Supervision
20 students, a lead guide (the navigator) and three part-time guides (mates). At least two adults on site at all times.
Talking to customers
Navigators approve outreach lists and anything posted publicly. No in-person meetings with customers without a guardian or navigator present.
Money
Customers pay into your child's own verified account. The S$300 float is repaid first, and any profit after that is theirs. Argo covers any loss on the float.
What they can sell
A pre-cleared list. No food without a licence, and nothing financial, medical or regulated.
Mentors and the network
Mentors are vetted. Under-18s meet mentors in public places, booked through Argo, and parents are copied.
School and exams
Voyages run only in school holidays. Voyage I starts after A-levels end (27 Nov) and JC holidays begin (28 Nov). Voyage II sits inside the poly March vacation.

Every Friday you get the same numbers your child sees.

It tracks the product: users, sales and customers spoken to. It never scores your child. Slow weeks are part of the learning.

Demo day ends with a networking session. Parents meet the mentors too.

On the last day you watch your child demo their product and its numbers to mentors and founders. Afterwards, parents and students stay to meet them.

What your child leaves with
  • A live product with real users
  • Revenue, verified by bank statement
  • A 90-second demo video
  • A written review of what worked and what didn't
  • A certificate and a reference letter
  • Lifetime membership of the Agora

Meet Neo, see the plan, and ask anything.
