Innovation Week
Innovation Week is a unique opportunity for teens to solve real-world innovation challenges through entrepreneurship.
Join us at Innovation Week at The University of Utah this summer – a bold opportunity to transform yourself, your community, and even your planet!
University of Utah’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 “Shark Tank” style pitch competition.
Innovation 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 – whether meeting with CEOs of successful startups, visiting research and innovation labs on campus, or speaking with professors and students who lead innovative ventures.
The 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.

*Exceptions made on a case-by-case basis
What: A 1-week summer program where students learn design thinking, entrepreneurship, and innovation from world class entrepreneurs and innovators. Students form teams to build solutions and business models that tackle real-world problems.
