MIT packages its venture-starting framework as a free youth course
The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship has built a free, AI-powered youth entrepreneurship platform called Dear Dreamer. It takes the disciplined entrepreneurship framework and turns it into a self-paced digital course: short educational videos, interactive exercises, and personalized feedback on the user's own idea rather than a generic curriculum. Bill Aulet says the goal is to empower 50,000 young entrepreneurs by 2030. The wager, put plainly, is that a step-by-step venture method survives translation to a younger, self-paced audience once software is doing the coaching.

Personalized feedback on your own idea is the piece that separates this from a workbook. Whether software can actually judge a business idea is a different question.
And a target of 50,000 young entrepreneurs by 2030 is a statement about ambition; it says less about whether the method transfers to a thirteen-year-old.
