We transform young minds with problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and generative ai skills — closing the gap between education and real-world success.

Building Future Problem Solvers

Schools Leave Students Unprepared for Life

Today’s students lack essential skills - critical thinking, money management and real-world problem solving. Parents worry, educators feel limited, and companies face an unprepared workforce. Young & Brilliant provides educator-crafted activities that align with K-12 core curriculum standards focusing on:

  • Real-World Skills: Building confidence through practical learning.

  • The School to Success Pipeline: Turning lessons into life-skills.

  • Empowering Support: Equipping families and teachers to raise capable students.

Real-World Life Skills

Young & Brilliant teaches skills that go beyond textbooks—critical thinking, financial literacy, and problem-solving. Students gain tools they’ll use in real life.

Confidence and Independence

We embrace neurodiversity — building independent thinkers ready to creatively tackle challenges, make informed decisions, and seize opportunities.

Supports Parents & Educators

We provide parents and teachers with easy-to-use resources such as workbooks, workshops, and (launching early 2025) apps to help students thrive both in school and beyond.

Our students LOVED the Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship workbook. It inspired them to want to start businesses.
