More fun brainstorming from my #Entrepreneurship students! The STARTedUP Foundation 's "Worst Day Ever" had students collaborate to develop the worst school day story ever. They took those events and found the #silverlining. Stories were funny and the turnarounds were clever! #busedu #hornetsbiz Don Wettrick Kevin Schamel

It was a great day Noblesville High School today. Seniors in the Project Lead The Way Engineering and Biomedical Sciences pathways were able to showcase the current status of their projects to community members and get real feedback. I'm thankful to The STARTedUP Foundation for the resources they provide through the #EducatorFellowship to help Amanda Smart and me make students' capstone experiences impactful. Look for these students to ramp up their #innovation and #entrepreneurship skills and submit entries to #InnovateWithIN this year!

We loved being able to support our alumnus Isaiah "Izzy" Branam at Venture Club of Indiana, Inc.'s luncheon! He shared his journey into entrepreneurship and his Indy talent retention insights. Moderated by Kelli N. Jones, they led an insightful fireside chat on investing in the next generation of leaders! A little about Izzy: → He founded Xygen Records at 13—managing over 100 artists and hitting 10 million streams → During his Innovate WithIN years (aka 17 y.o), he developed 2 software platforms—Fia & Hirify → Now, he's the CEO of Relate XR, where he and his team are pioneering virtual reality treatments for substance use disorders. →→ Did we mention its backed by over $5M in NIH research grants + conducting 3 federally-recognized clinical trials? A big thank you to Venture Club of Indiana, Inc. for providing an opportunity for Izzy to share his story - and for advocating for youth entrepreneurship. We are proud to witness such dedication to shaping the future!
🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 We’re partnering with IMPACTT - Technology Transfer for Impact Ventures, a team led by Circular Venture Labs and the University of Evansville's Center for Innovation and Change. Together, we've received a new award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Community Energy Innovation Prize! The award will allow us to introduce technology transfer and its importance to research and development in the U.S. to Indiana high school students. Early understanding of the process is critical for young entrepreneurs, early startups, and corporate innovation teams. As one of ten national prize winners in our track, we now have validation from our region, our state, and the U.S. Department of Energy's American-Made Program for the technology transfer program.
