📌 Lowest Rated: Drop-off / Pick-up (4.00) One parent rated it 2/5, and one rated 3/5. Multiple comments cited confusion at the venue entrance on Days 1–2 as Discovery staff weren't briefed on the drop-off flow.
What Kids Talked About at Home

Activities Parents Heard Their Child Mention (multi-select, n=9)

📌 Board Break & Business Plan dominated dinner table conversations Both tied at 8 of 9 parents hearing about them — meaning nearly every child went home and talked about these two activities. AI, Ping Pong Ball Game, Walk of Truth, and the Economy Leaderboard all tied at 5–6 mentions.
Preferred Event Timing for 2027

When Should Y.E.S. 2027 Be Held? (multi-select)

Timing Insight

Weeks 2 & 3 after school ends tied at 5 votes each
No strong consensus for a single week — parents are flexible across the mid-summer window, suggesting either week works. Week 1 (2 votes) is least preferred, likely due to end-of-school transitions.
Recommendation for 2027
Target Week 2 or 3 after school lets out. Avoid the first week of summer. Since parents selected multiple options, a late June / early July window should satisfy the largest group.

Parent Suggestions for 2027

Operational Improvements

🚗 Drop-off Clarity (Top Issue)
Brief the venue staff in advance so parents can go directly upstairs on Day 1. Consider a pre-arrival email with exact drop-off instructions and a pickup lane sign-in option.
⏰ Daily End Time
One parent suggested 3:30 mandatory end with optional activities until 4:30–5. Consider structured wind-down vs. extended optional programming.
🥤 Snacks & Beverages
Add mid-morning and post-lunch snack options — teens are hungry constantly, and meal gaps between sessions were noticed.
🔗 Social / LinkedIn Connections
Create a structured way for participants to connect with mentors and volunteers after the event — a shared group, directory, or opt-in contact list.

Programming Suggestions

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Day 4 Involvement
Beyond the pitch presentation, offer a 20-minute parent debrief — a summary of what kids learned and quick tips for reinforcing lessons at home.
📈 Deeper Entrepreneurship Content
Parents want more on validating business ideas and step-by-step entrepreneur frameworks — their kids came home wanting more.
🗓 Consider 5 Days
One parent explicitly asked for a 5-day format. The depth of content clearly warrants it — worth exploring for 2027 given the strong return intent.
🧑‍🏫 Ongoing Mentor Access
One parent requested more structured mentor follow-up post-event to track growth — consider a quarterly check-in or alumni program.
Combined Scorecard — Participants + Parents

Side-by-Side: How Each Group Experienced Y.E.S. 2026

📌 Parents rated their experience higher than participants in every comparable category Parent overall score: 5.00 vs. participant: 4.59. This gap is typical — parents observe transformation from the outside and tend to attribute outcomes more fully to the program. The alignment between both groups on mentors, staff, and programming quality validates the core Y.E.S. model.
