Engaging students in the everyday business of creating ideas and building companies

High School District 214’s Entrepreneurship Program engages students in the everyday business of creating ideas and building companies. Launched in all six of our comprehensive high schools, it relies on the expertise of local partners with professional roots in a variety of areas – from marketing and branding to finance and business development – who co-teach alongside District 214 teachers to deliver relevant entrepreneurship education. Working in teams as they would in a real business setting, students solve problems and develop solutions.

Startup Showcase is the culmination of a year of critical thinking, collaboration and inspiration. This evening, teams of entrepreneurs representing all six comprehensive high schools will pitch their businesses to an expert panel of judges for the chance to win $3,000 in startup money, which has been made possible by the financial support of the District 214 Education Foundation.
