Our Program
Junior Innovators brings real-world entrepreneurship into the classroom through a turnkey four-course curriculum that guides students from their first idea to a fully developed business.
Each course builds on the last, starting with ENT 101: Introduction to Entrepreneurship, where students learn how to identify problems and develop creative solutions. In ENT 201: Product-Market Fit and Testing, they validate ideas through research and experimentation. ENT 301: Business Development with AI Integration teaches students how to use technology and automation to grow their ventures, while ENT 401: Scaling and Funding prepares them to pitch to investors and scale their businesses responsibly.
Alongside classroom learning, students participate in student-run marketplaces, pitch events, and guest speaker opportunities that connect them with local entrepreneurs. Teachers receive ready-to-use lesson plans, slides, and resources, making implementation simple and engaging.
At its core, Junior Innovators is more than a curriculum — it’s a movement to inspire confidence, creativity, and real-world success in every student.
Who we are
Junior Innovators was founded by three Grand Canyon University graduates, Micah Alexander, Logan Middleton, and Jonathan McKee, who share a passion for inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs. What started as a college project has grown into a nationwide movement that helps schools bring real-world business education to life.
At Junior Innovators, we believe students learn best by doing. Our mission is simple: to equip young entrepreneurs with real-world tools, values, and experience to build purposeful ventures through hands-on learning, bold thinking, and resilient action.
