Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab One-Hour Webinar Series

Unlocking Youth Potential Webinar Series

October 28, 2025, 9:30-10:30 a.m. ET Live Online

What if your school wasn’t just preparing students for the future—but equipping them to create it?

In today’s fast-changing world, adaptability isn’t enough. To truly thrive, students need to think and act like entrepreneurial problem-solvers—able to spot opportunities, navigate uncertainty, and transform ideas into action. Plus, they need teachers and leaders who are empowered to guide them.

Entrepreneurship isn’t simply about teaching students to start businesses—it’s about cultivating the confidence, creativity, and collaborative skills they need to navigate complexity and turn ideas into action.

This 60-minute webinar series, Unlocking Youth Potential, invites K–12 educators and school leaders to reimagine classrooms and schools as launchpads for innovation, resilience, and real-world problem solving. You’ll learn how schools across the globe have shifted from traditional practices to dynamic, student-centered learning that sparks agency, creativity, and confidence.

This webinar series is led by Dr. Beth Goldstein, Academic Director of the Babson Academy Youth Impact Lab. Each session explores how entrepreneurial thinking can transform learning environments at every grade level and across all subject areas. Through case studies of schools that have embraced this approach, you’ll discover practical strategies to spark student agency, teacher empowerment, and school-wide innovation.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Strategies for teacher empowerment that unlock professional creativity and confidence.
  • Ways to future-proof your school by embedding entrepreneurial principles into culture, curriculum, and strategic planning.
  • How to inspire an entrepreneurial mindset in both students and educators—embracing experimentation, reflection, and bold thinking.
  • Methods to integrate entrepreneurial practices into any classroom or curriculum to make learning more relevant, engaging, and impactful.
  • How to foster a culture of initiative and empowerment where students lead, teachers innovate, and learning is connected to the real world.
