With 6 distinct programs covering the full spectrum of youth entrepreneurship for over 700 Launchies, the anticipation is exhilarating.
Every summer, LaunchX selects a special city where all their in-person programs take place in. For 2026, that location is San Diego, with programs hosted at University of California San Diego.
Is LaunchX still prestigious in 2026? Explore its acceptance rate, MIT roots, global programs, and how it compares to YYGS and Stanford Pre-College.
The LaunchX Summer Programs are designed for students who want to explore entrepreneurship in a hands-on, real-world way. Rather than focusing on lectures alone, immerse in building and testing startup ideas from the ground up.
