More confident explaining an idea
Basis: 25 engaged families, Startopia Skills family survey.
Every Startopia programme runs on ProofScaling: children test whether anyone wants their idea, whether it can be built, whether it works financially and whether someone can actually use it, before assuming it is ready to grow.
