\nJoin us at Innovation Week at The University of Utah this summer &ndash\; a bold \;opportunity to transform yourself\, your community\, and even your planet!
\n
\nUniversity of Utah&rsquo\;s Youth Education program\, in partnership with the \;Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute and the Audacious Institute\, is offering an \;unparalleled opportunity for high school students to collaborate with \;entrepreneurs and innovators to tackle innovation challenges. In the span of a \;week\, students identify a \;pressing problem in their local or global community\, \;employ design thinking\, lean startup\, and innovation techniques to develop a \;unique solution\, and work with \;peers and mentors to bring their innovative \;ideas to life! The program culminates in a &ldquo\;Shark Tank&rdquo\; style pitch competition.
\n
\nInnovation Week is unique from other programs in that it helps students \;develop a growth mindset\, characteristic of entrepreneurs and innovators. This \;mindset \;helps build resilience and is critical for success in college and 21st \;century careers. Students also access mentors and career opportunities not \;available elsewhere &ndash\; whether meeting with CEOs of successful startups\, \;visiting research and innovation labs on campus\, or speaking with professors \;and \;students who lead innovative ventures.
\n
\nThe U leads the nation in entrepreneurship and innovation. We invite you to \;spend a week on our beautiful campus developing 21st century skills that will \;help you \;build your candidacy for college and prepare for 21st century careers. \;Most importantly\, students will have a blast collaborating in teams\, making new \;friends\, \;and sharing their perspectives on topics that matter to them.
