Launchpad UMD

The Dingman-Lamone Center for Entrepreneurship is excited to announce the 3rd year of Launchpad, designed for high school students to gain hands-on experience creating a service or building a product.
They are currently looking for experienced UMD students and alumni to mentor high school students and guide them on their entrepreneurial journey (and receive a nice $2k stipend!).

Launchpad is a 10-week after-school program designed to foster entrepreneurship, mentorship, and inclusion. High school students will gain hands-on experience creating a service or building a product.
