🚀 Introducing Champ Tank 2026!

What happens when you combine entrepreneurship, creativity, mentorship, and Baltimore’s brightest young minds?

You get Champ Tank.

This summer, students in Grades 4-12 are becoming Youth-Preneurs, identifying real problems in their communities and developing innovative solutions through hands-on Career Labs led by industry professionals.

From STEM and Arts to Trades, Wellness, and Pitch Development, our students are building prototypes, creating business concepts, and preparing to pitch their ideas live before our Champion’s Circle of entrepreneurs, executives, and community leaders.

🏆 Along the way, they’ll compete for awards, mentorship opportunities, and seed funding while gaining the confidence to become tomorrow’s innovators.

🎟 The Champ Tank Showcase is FREE and open to the community!

📅 Thursday, August 13, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
📍 Unity Hall

Over the next several weeks, we’ll introduce you to the incredible coaches, mentors, Champion’s Circle members, and Youth-Preneurs making this journey possible.
