Join our growing group of schools, districts and community programs offering our program in their region and educational communities.

Foundation4Innovation in partnership with the SBA, Collaborative Education Advisors and the Harry Singer Foundation and is 501c3 organization designed to support through learn-by-doing education to prepare participants for their innovations and start-up projects. Our organization challenges allow youth and adult participants to receive industry feedback on their innovations ideas and products, and prepare them for taking their dreams to the next level. 

No matter what career aspirations,  Career Technical Education (CTE) pathway or post-secondary field of study sector youth and adults participants may be involved in, the end game is always going to be to meet a need, sell the idea and secure seed money to kick-start their dreams.

That's where F4i can help. Our foundation offers students, educators and participating adults in the local county area an opportunity to showcase their innovations through a series of local and accessible challenges. These challenges culminate into a year long "learn by doing" concept that ultimately prepares participants to launch their dreams.  We help directly involve local programs and industry experts to assess these formative projects.

Competition and public displays of work embedded into your program culture can increase engagement, deepen PBL alignment and create a common capstone across numerous courses.
