About The Level Up Experiment

The competition style show ‘The Level Up Experiment’ takes HBCU students from the classroom to the board room, putting them against each other in a series of challenges with their performance judged by a panel of Black executives, entrepreneurs and HBCU alums. With eliminations always looming, the stakes are high as they battle it out for a package of prizes and a coveted internship.

Meet the Level Up 16 Scholars. In a test of their public speaking, goal-setting and self-confidence, Personal Pitch challenges each scholar to craft and deliver a :30 second pitch to our prominent board members as to why they belong on The Level Up Experiment.


12 remaining Level Up scholars are split up into teams and placed into time-sensitive scenarios where they must work together, leveraging each other's strengths to solve complex puzzles, while becoming the first to free themselves from Big Escape Atlanta.
