WCEA Academy Cohort Handbook
Program Document · Given to Every Student and Family at Enrollment
This is the complete map of the program year, cover to cover — what each of the four phases actually demands (Discover ends with a Market Discovery Report, Build ends with a Soft Launch Event, Launch means real customers and real revenue for three straight months, Pitch & Scale ends at Demo Day), the attendance and conduct expectations every family signs off on, and the safety policies that protect every student, spelled out in plain language rather than buried in legal text. It closes with the honest version of what a year in the program actually earns a student: not a guaranteed prize, but a real business, a real pitch in front of a judging panel, and a shot at the $500 seed prize for the strongest one in the room.
