Is Trim Tab for Me?
TrimTab is for teens and rising adults (12~22) who want to plan and work with the latest tech, build cool projects, and explore possibilities. You don't need previous experience to start, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
What We Do
​
Through SPARK, IGNITE, and LAUNCH, participants move from early exploration with modern tools, to building real capability, to applying those skills in authentic projects, internships, and youth-led work experiences.
​
SPARK Curiosity
A spark, a horizon, a moment of discovery.
​
Hands-on exploration and early exposure, primarily for middle school youth. Youth try robotics, AI, VR/AR, coding, design thinking, 3D design, and fabrication in environments built for curiosity and confidence.
IGNITE Potential
Fully engaged, learning through doing.
​
Cohort-based, multi-week experiences for middle and high school youth that deepen skills, identity, and teamwork. Participants design, build, and refine tangible projects—such as games, products, and maker work—that mirror real studio and startup workflows.
LAUNCH Promising Futures
A path forward, a doorway, a connection.
​
Real-world opportunities for older teens and emerging adults: advanced cohorts, partner-driven projects, site visits, internships, micro-internships, and youth-led work roles. Participants connect skills to networks, mentors, and pathways that influence education, work, and personal direction.
