The classic Eitanim model develops teens who want to lead through ideas, creativity, startup thinking, technology, business tools, and real-world problem-solving.
Participants work in teams to identify real-world challenges, research target audiences, conduct market research, map competitors and opportunities, develop creative solutions, use AI tools, build business models, create prototypes, shape a brand story, and present their ideas through a professional pitch process.
