Our mission
We believe teens deserve the power to shape what’s next.
Future Creators Lab is an incubator for ambitious high schoolers to develop their Creator Muscle—combining leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship training with hands-on, collaborative, AI-powered building.
Mentored by top Silicon Valley minds, students leave with real-world projects and the mindset to thrive in the future of work.
Our mission is to empower teens to become creators of their own future—by learning how to lead, innovate, and build with purpose.
Values
Build with Purpose and Impact
We believe the best creators make things that matter. At FCL, every project starts with meaning and ends with real-world relevance.
Learn by Doing
We believe confidence is built through action. It’s not about learning to be ready. It’s about becoming ready by doing.
Grow the Whole Human
We believe skillset means little without mindset. That’s why we develop thinkers, leaders, and grounded collaborators—ready to navigate the world, not just work in it.
Inclusion Commitment
Through our non-profit partner Banyan project & other generous partners, 30% of every cohort will be for families that need assistance
