Our Innovate-A-thon® program provides scholarship opportunities to high school and college level students who work and collaborate to develop solutions to real world issues.  Thanks to private and corporate donors and sponsors, Innovate-A-Thon® has so far provided 74 scholarships at 17 Colleges and Universities.  Our goal for these students is to learn problem solving techniques such as Identify-Ideate-Improve-Implement, SCAMPER, and SWOTT, as well as learn to work in teams and present in public, which will encourage them to be our next generation of entrepreneurs to contribute to future positive changes in our world.  We provide a unique approach for our corporate sponsors who are offered the opportunity to submit the problem statement to a relevant issue in their industry for the students to work on.  The sponsor is then able to review and take part in the judging of the student team's solutions during their final presentations.  We have found this provides an invaluable opportunity for students to network, explore future career paths, and possibly receive an internship or job offer from the sponsor. Our students have commented that this interaction with the sponsors has been by far their best networking opportunity and far better than any form of career fair.
