'''Problem Statement:''' It has been really challenging to get college student students involved in the university´s innovation ecosystem. We think that if we start to foster innovation and entrepreneurship among young high school students, we can ensure that they develop their entrepreneurial mindset early onat a young age and continue engaged in university. High school students want to get hands on experiences and they tend to consider that starting a company can be more open for new experiences for college studentsa good career choice.
'''Solution Overview:''' The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce is already in the process of launchin launching the Young Enrepreneurs Entrepreneurs Academy in LuubbockLubbock, Texas. They want Texas Tech students to get invovled in the program to motivate students to apply to college and possibly continue their entrepreneurial ventures at the Universityuniversity. They also want to integrate the program with TTIME (Texas Tech Innovation Mentorship & Entrepreneurship), the entrepreneurial student organization at Tech, to have students that have been succesful in their own ventures mentor the high schoolers.
'''Background:'''The [http://www.yeausa.org Young Entrepreneurs Academy] (YEA!), is a program that guides students through the process of launching a company. Throughout the school year, students attend one weekly session in the evening where they learn how to write a business plan, conduct market research, validate their idea, and about the legal business startup process. By the end of the program, they have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a panel of investor and even launch their startup. === Tactic #1: Designing a new high-impact community service involvement project for Texas Tech students ===
