Classroom Innovation. Teacher Retention. Passion and Purpose.
We empower educators to teach students to view the world through a lens of innovation and entrepreneurship while building a life of purpose.
At STARTedUP, we believe:
Opportunities are everywhere.
Not everyone has to be an entrepreneur but everyone should be able to think like one.
The only difference between entrepreneurs and everyone else is that entrepreneurs don’t wait for perfection, they move now.
Strategic networks are a key to success and everyone should be empowered to build theirs. If it’s not ‘what you know but who you know,’ then get out there and know people.
In a world of social media, addictions and negativity, every person can create real value by being a producer instead of a consumer.
The future economy will rely on people that see problems as opportunities to apply their value and build solutions.
