FROM SCHOOL TO THE REAL WORLD
Learning Meets Real life
(7th grade April - May)
In a Five-Day Project Week, students work as a design team on a real mission — aiming to win a contract.
Led by Mary-Ann, they use skills from previous Gates, face daily challenges, and experience true flow — full focus, teamwork, and creativity in action.
On Friday, they pitch their solution and earn the Captain’s Key 1 — the entry to GateUP Level 2.
Level 1 to Level 2
The gates and timeline above show how GateUP Level 1 works. When students are ready to advance, GateUP Level 2 builds on these foundations with more resources, a full project team, and an expanded challenge library.

TEACHERS ARE THE GAME-CHANGERS
