Teen Start-Up is a fun multi-day event where students aged 11-14 years or 14-18 years are taken through the innovation development process from idea to execution. Students work individually or in teams to come up with an idea that they believe provides a solution to a problem their generation will face in the future. The event concludes with the students sharing their ideas with their peers and people from industry.

During the program, students can draw on resources, activities and factoids to inspire their thinking.

The real benefit of Teen Start-Up teaches participants about the innovation process and the various tools that can be used. It doesn’t require any particular skill such as coding, but rather encourages participants to develop thinking skills and present their ideas in a way that works for them. They really are learning while having fun.
