Why Should Your Teen Take This Course?
Internet entrepreneurship is the skill of turning knowledge, hobbies, and abilities into a product you can sell online - through a website, blog, Telegram channel, social media, online course, or game. Unlike traditional business, it's accessible to teens right now, with no need for capital, a storefront, or paperwork.
Core idea: Superpower = what you love + what you're good at + what people praise you for. That combination becomes the foundation of the student's business idea, which we help shape into a real project.
What your child gets
- An environment where everyone succeeds - every teen can learn the tools and build something great
- Lessons that never feel like a chore - students build what they actually dream of: a game, an app, content, their own project
- A real project, not just theory - from first idea to final pitch, with a teacher's support at every step
- A course built around the student's interests - their strengths and hobbies become the basis of the project
- Relatable, inspiring examples - real teen case studies, not unreachable celebrity stories
- An interactive format - discussions, games, and hands-on practice in every lesson
Why this matters right now
Teens can start earning online today by leaning into their strengths and interests. Online business is more accessible than a traditional one: lower costs, no rent, a fast launch from home, and access to a global audience - while building independence and future-ready skills.
Who Is This Course For?
- Teens aged 12–16 who love making things - drawing, video editing, gaming, blogging - and want to turn that into a real project
- Students who've already experimented with social media or a hobby and want to take the idea further
- Complete beginners - no coding background needed, we start from zero
What's needed: a computer or laptop and a stable internet connection.
This course gives your teen a project to call their own: it builds independence and confidence, teaches them to follow an idea through to results, and shows them that their interests have real value.

Course Program
The course follows an entrepreneur's journey: Idea → Website → Promotion → Pitch. Students run their own project from first idea to final presentation, supported by a teacher at every step. Duration: 5+ months (40+ hours); format: individual or group.
Module 1. What? Why? For Whom? (Business Model)
Students find a business idea rooted in their own interests and strengths, define their target audience and the value of their product, test the idea's viability, and build a first prototype.
Module 2. How? Where? (Marketing & PR)
We cover promotion channels, project branding, buyer psychology, and how to craft a compelling pitch. Students prepare a strategy for reaching their audience.
Module 3. How Much? (Pitching & Sales)
Students build a landing page for their project, learn the basics of web design, SEO, and social media marketing, work with key business metrics, and prepare a final pitch deck for "investors."
Module 4. Refining the Project (Quality Management)
Students learn to analyze and improve their project: financial and situational analysis, managing change and resistance, and building leadership skills.
Module 5. Connections (Business Communication)
We build negotiation, persuasion, and teamwork skills, and teach students how to network and present themselves - a final hands-on networking workshop.
By the end, students walk away with a finished online project and a personal CODDY certificate.

Student Project Examples
"PlaylistBuddy" - a Telegram bot for mood-based playlists
A 13-year-old turned her love of music into a Telegram bot that suggests playlists based on mood. She built a landing page for the project, wrote social media copy, and ran a first test launch among classmates.
"EcoTrack" - a blog and Telegram channel about eco-friendly habits
A 15-year-old launched a channel with short videos and posts about reducing waste in everyday life. Within a month he built an initial audience and drafted a partnership plan with a local zero-waste shop.
"SkillSwap" - a website for peer-to-peer mini-lessons
A 14-year-old designed a platform where teens trade short lessons in their hobbies, from skateboarding to drawing. He built a site prototype, outlined the business model, and pitched the project to his class as a final deck.
