yCITIES<\/a> Innovation Challenge<\/strong> is an entrepreneurial problem-solving bootcamp specifically designed for ambitious middle and high school students who believe they have the potential to make societal impact as an innovator and leader.\u00a0 In this challenge, accepted students will learn frameworks and processes to determine how to go from an idea to a commercially viable solution.<\/p>\n

Accepted students will be placed in small teams to tackle a centrally-issued challenge for this 2-round elimination competition. Acceptance into this program is based on quality\/thoughtfulness of answers to illustrate strong work ethic and leadership potential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

While 3D printed prototypes and other physical\/virtual outputs are required, students do not have to have a technical background.\u00a0 Many different types of skills, background, and personalities are required to make a solid team to design, create, analyze data, assess risk, determine the best business models, and beyond.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

@Educators\/Mentors, you may have a group of students just right to be young entrepreneurs.\u00a0 Students must apply but you can assist in the application process.<\/p>\n

Deadline to submit is October 29th, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n
