Edge Up Talk Lab
Grades 4–7
6-Week Speaking Studio
Find an idea. Build a message. Own the stage.
Edge Up Talk Lab is a 6-week speaking studio designed for students who want to move beyond simply speaking clearly and learn how to communicate ideas with confidence, structure, and impact.
Students learn how to take an idea, perspective, experience, or story and transform it into a compelling short talk through storytelling, organization, research, delivery practice, and feedback.
More than a public speaking class, Edge Up Talk Lab helps students discover what they want to say, why it matters, and how to communicate it in a way that connects with an audience.

enjoy sharing ideas and opinions
want to become stronger, more confident speakers
have stories, interests, or perspectives they want to express
want to improve storytelling and presentation skills
are ready to write, revise, practice, and receive feedback
are interested in debate, leadership, entrepreneurship, or future academic opportunities
No prior speaking experience is required. Students should be ready to participate, collaborate, practice, and refine their work.
Includes
✔ Weekly 90-minute in-person studio sessions
✔ Idea development and talk creation process

The Edge Up Talk Lab Experience
