Drop-In DayJuly 7 + July 8

Your kid has a Ryan Trahan problem.

And honestly? So do we.

The reel. This is the kind of app your kid will ship by lunch.

They've explained Joyride. Three times. You've nodded. Pretended to understand.

And now they're pitching a challenge involving a suitcase, a wheel, a nonprofit, an app, and several questionable decisions.

Instead of telling them no — what if we helped them build it?

What is this

A real thing a real kid actually built.

After watching Ryan Trahan. No fake startup ideas. No worksheets. No simulations. An actual app, for an actual challenge, raising real money for an actual cause. On Drop-In Day, your kid picks their thing, designs their own challenge, and ships a real app with our team next to them.

In person · A sample day of Talent School

Monday · July 7

9am – 12pm ET

At our Lake Norman, NC campus. A real slice of what a Talent School morning feels like — pathway guide, project studio, mentor pods, snacks — and your kid leaves with a published app by lunch.

Virtual

Tuesday · July 8

9 – 11am ET

Same build sprint, from anywhere. Faster pace — two hours with our pathway team live on Zoom, and your kid still ships a published app.

Receipts

Things we probably shouldn't have approved.

Instead we helped build it. Because that's kind of our thing.

Free.Nominate a nonprofit on the form — winning cause gets PR + a spotlight in our journal.

RSVP

Save your spot.

Tell us a bit about your learner. We'll send confirmation, address (or Zoom link), and what to bring.

Which day?

A note, just in case

If Ryan sees this.

We'll reserve one seat at Drop-In Day. No cameras. No marketing. No catch.

Just come help a kid make something weird.

This is what happens when you let kids
build stuff.

One foundation. Many folds.
