Abstract
These data are the baseline data for a randomized experiment conducted in high schools in Ecuador. The intervention is an online education course that covers entrepreneurial soft skills, scientific methods, and interviews with role models. This course is taken by students during class time, under teacher supervision. We work with 14-18-year-old students (about 15,000 students) in 126 schools. We randomly assign schools either to treatment (and receiving the entrepreneurship and science content online), or placebo-control (receiving a placebo treatment of online courses from standard curricula) groups. Within the treatment group, we randomize at the grade-level the type of entrepreneurship curricula, and then randomize the order of entrepreneurship and science courses to measure the short-term effects of each component and to mitigate order effects. In addition, we cross-randomize schools to a role model treatment of interviews with successful scientists and entrepreneurs. In addition, we provide information about career options.

The baseline survey was administrated through an online learning platform in school.
