Every two months we bring a large number of teenagers together to build the skills, projects, and lifelong friendships they'll need to take on the world – straight out of high school.
We work intensively every Saturday for 8 weeks to build something great and share the stories with a curated group of colleges, bootcamps, scholarships, and sponsors. Come join us.
Chapter 2, Season 1 starts January 14, 2023.
Tired of draining lectures and the constant stream of busy work? We hate busywork too so instead of reading about the thing, you'll do the thing – constantly pushing to the edge of your comfort zone.
Ever asked yourself when exactly you'd need trigonometry or poetry analysis in your life? Ever wondered what it really takes to make it out there? At Factor, you'll work on real-world projects with experts like Alex from Snapchat, J.B. from Blue Origin, or Katrina from the San Antonio Spurs to find out what it's really like to be in their shoes.
Worried because you haven't figured it all out yet? Anxious cause you think you should have? Newsflash: You don't. Factor's here to give you all the time and opportunities to explore what life has in stall for you. Wanna go to college? Great. Wanna explore the world first? Or jump straight into a career? Also great. Let's stop living someone else's trail and start exploring your own.
With how many students do your teachers or guidance counselor work? 500? Even more?? Even if they care a lot, the time they can spend helping you get where you want to be is limited. At Factor, you'll have a personal mentor from day one. Someone whose primary concern is to help you become who you want to be.
There are other teens who care like you do, find them at Factor. At Factor, you'll join a global community where you'll meet, work, and make life-long friends with people like Mekel from Mississippi, Spencer from LA, Brianna from Ghana, Paul from Germany, or Ivan from Ukraine.
