In the pipline of technology, education is so important to the future of technological development. The links to the elementary through high school children help increase interest in science and technology. As we continue to mentor youth through our programs with the college clubs and groups, the future of innovation is fostered and encouraged. INNOVATIONS is always looking for leaders in this effort to nuture the future development of tomorrow’s cure and life-saving technologies.
Some of our programs include:
Biotech Billionaire® – An exciting board game developed to teach and represent the biotech industry, the riskiest industry in the world. Biotech Billionaire® is a risk free setting to better understand the needs of an emerging biotech, strapped-for-cash and having to focus its effort in a fashion greater than any other industry known. The aim of the game is to teach players concepts of venture capitalists, IPOs and the biotech industry. Players employ concepts of balancing scientific R&D study, with business efforts such as fund raising, incentivizing and sometimes disciplining scientists, cash flow, venture capital, product development and how to wrap everything up in a package to present to the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration).
LABapprentice is a competitive summer intern program with a twist – the Interns are challenged each week and reviewed by a panel of scientific and corporate leaders. They are given guidance and an opportunity to be spotlighted via video episodes available at www.labapprentice.com. Viewers are able to tune in each week and watch the progress of the Interns along with insights from the expert panel and board.
Scientific Samurai – A scientific challenge for high schoolers based on categories of technology, science and renewable energy.
