Entrepreneurs 4 Young Innovators

CONNECT has developed a STEM program called Entrepreneurs for Young Innovators which is designed to inspire middle and high school students to pursue careers in life sciences and technology by introducing them to local entrepreneurs with exciting technology products.  CONNECT arranges for local CEOs who are winners of our Most Innovative New Product Awards or Venture Roundtables or graduates of our Springboard program to visit classrooms to tell their stories, describe their companies, demonstrate the products they are creating and explain how science, technology engineering and math (STEM) classes can help prepare for college and rewarding careers in technology.

CONNECT Summer Internship Program

CONNECT also offers a summer internship program. The CONNECT internship program provides opportunities to inspire high school students to work in the field of computer science and programming. Interns will be matched with a host company for a 6 week long internship held June 17-July 26, 2013. This is a 6 week, unpaid internship is requires 15-20 of work Monday thru Friday.At the conclusion of the internship, students will present a summary of their work experience to the CONNECT community.
