Our experience with the Level-UP 2nd cohort was nothing short of inspiring. We joined a group of driven entrepreneurs, each dedicated to bringing their innovative ideas to life and advancing their entrepreneurial journey. This journey culminated in an exciting pitch competition, where 10 passionate finalists, including Ninichef’s hands-on learning platform for kids, presented their visions with a shot at the $10,000 prize.
For us at Ninichef, this wasn’t just a competition. It was a chance to connect with and learn from some of the brightest minds in educational innovation and STEM education. The feedback and insights from judges and mentors offered us new perspectives, helping us refine our mission of combining STEM learningwith practical life skills for children through engaging, hands-on culinary experiences. The energy in the room was contagious, and every interaction brought fresh ideas to elevate Ninichef’s impact on education and skill-building for kids.
Ninichef’s Mission: Our mission is to create an educational experience that not only teaches but excites and equips children with the skills they need for the future. The Level-UP experience has only strengthened our dedication to this goal. We’re thrilled to announce that Ninichef is joining the next Level-UP program, starting in 2025! This opportunity will be instrumental as we expand Ninichef’s impact on STEM education and life skills for young learners.
Grateful for the insights gained at Level-UP, helping us bring innovative learning to children everywhere.
