Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center (EIC)

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center (EIC) offers a unique opportunity for students in tenth through twelfth grades to gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and innovation by starting a business, launching a product, or offering a service. Accepted students attend the EIC part-time each day with the opportunity to gain high school credit through two unique entrepreneurship courses.

Students Transforming Great Ideas into Thriving Businesses

Student entrepreneurship opportunities are limitless, but examples include:

  • Offering a service such as lawn care, babysitting, housecleaning, playing a guitar at events, pet walking, videography, or photography.
  • Finding innovative solutions to problems that face people around the world including lack of water or power in third world countries, dead phone batteries on camping trips, or a variety of social and economic challenges within our communities.
  • Starting a business like a bakery, retail venture, or an automotive shop.
  • Launching an innovative product, such as a specialized agricultural tool, an assistive device, or a new product for the marketplace.
