Social Innovation Sprint

Over the course of two Saturdays (August 10 & 17), teens will work in groups to create innovative solutions to society's most pressing issues. Addressing the problem of food insecurity, students will learn essential design thinking and social entrepreneurship skills. Industry experts will be presenting the students with the challenges they face and will participate in a question and answer session. At the end of the second day teens will pitch their ideas to a panel of experts.

FREE class open to all teens; registration is required. Space is limited, so sign up early!

Students must be available both Saturdays. One registrations covers both days, so only one registration is needed.

Lunches will be provided both days.
