Together we can make your projects and ideas come to life.
We are the first Academy of projects and ideas from Europe, initiated, created and led by students for students. We offer free mentoring, support and guidance for young social entrepreneurs in creating and implementing their own projects, including close collaboration with schools, institutions and organisations from Romania, but also from all around the world, in order to emphasise the students involvement in their communities.
Support us!
Our mission
Our purpose is aimed to guide the teens from Romania to develop their own entrepreneurial projects. Were to be accepted, the students would need to come up with a project plan, and during the weekly mentoring sessions we will help them develop and implement it. They’ll have the possibility to be a part of a quality network and to create connections with the students who have the same interests all among the country.
The projects can be fit into one of the 3 area of interest: STEM, greening, and budgeting education.
LOTS OF BENEFITS
How do we make it easier for our students?
During mentoring sessions, the students will be guided through the structure of the ThinkUp guidebook on which we have been working for the past few months. The students will benefit from the tutoring and guidance of the mentors within the Academy, who are ready and willingly to offer their support during the project. Were the project succeeded, this could reach the next level through the handed funding by our sponsors.

What is holding you back?
Advice on time management is part of the resources we offer, and our goal is to help young people achieve their goals in the shortest possible time and avoid burnout.
Depending on the internal organization and the number of people you choose to participate in the implementation of the plan, the effort can be divided. Even if you are initially on your own, we will help you find a team and a way to execute your project without overworking yourself.
Through your involvement in the development of the project, you will not only overcome your limits, but you will also bring about a positive change in your community.
Fortunately, money is not an issue since ThinkUp offers these services for free. In addition, if your project reaches its full potential, it will receive funding from our sponsors.
This extracurricular experience will prepare you for the future by giving you the necessary skills and helping you become a more attractive college applicant.
