On Tuesday, July 30, a meeting for the StartED Up Foundation will be hosted by Novaparke Innovation and Technology Campus. 

The Foundation operates Innovate WithIN, offering year-long programming that teaches students to view the world through a lens of entrepreneurship and innovation. The program culminates into a statewide pitch competition that is free and available to all Indiana high school students – offering everything from scholarships to seed funding, all accompanied by a detailed online toolkit that will help students come up with winning ideas and create a well thought out pitch. Innovate WithIN companion course is available for both individual and classroom use. 

As students move along in the competition phase, they will have the opportunity to compete regionally and statewide, meet entrepreneurs, receive seed funding, and travel to Washington, D.C. All students who qualify for the Regional Competitions are invited to attend the STARTedUP Alumni Association where they can grow their network, connect with potential job opportunities, and could join an international immersion trip.  Novaparke is pleased to help cultivate the next generation of Hoosier entrepreneurs.
