STARTedUP Summit

Curious to see what Indiana’s top classrooms have created? 

The inaugural STARTedUP Summit is a one-day celebration of the students, teachers, and alumni who have spent the year building real ventures, developing real skills, and proving that entrepreneurship belongs in Indiana classrooms.

The main event: the STARTedUP Challenge Finals, where the top 10 high school founding teams from across the state will pitch live before a panel of judges to compete for $25,000 in prize money. Alongside the Finals, attendees will explore lobby showcases featuring standout regional competitors and STARTedUP alumni, and educators from the Innovation Accelerator cohort will be formally recognized with their STARTedUP certifications.

This is the culmination of a full year of work, and proof of what happens when students are given the space to solve real problems, while the teachers who make that possible are given the support they deserve.
