Invention is critical to the future we all want

With the proper resources, they can turn their early ideas into marketable products that support scalable businesses that address big challenges and create jobs.

Two priorities in our work are:

• To increase the number of under-resourced and under-represented students who have access to resources to pursue invention and entrepreneurship.

• To elevate the importance of environmental responsibility – considering and minimizing negative environmental impacts – when designing and developing physical products.

Working through partners, we support programs that that nurture student inventors on their journey to entrepreneurship and product creation, and address common barriers, including lack of access to funding, mentorship, prototyping lab space and market connections.
