Theme: "Possibilities"
The Triangle Uplift Foundation is proud to partner with the Triangle Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee to sponsor a Youth Innovation Summit for young people in the Triangle area. The goal is to reach minority, female, and other underrepresented students by providing an opportunity to increase students’ confidence and identity, and to inspire them to pursue study in STEAM-related fields of study. The Summit will provide a rich, collaborative environment exposing them to innovative ideas and programming that will ignite their interests and help them see pathways to a successful future in these careers. The event will target middle and high schools students in the Triangle area.
 Structure: The Youth Innovation Summit will be an event where participants will engage in a variety of activities including: guest speakers, hands on workshops, and participatory activities. Examples would include: drone and aerial photography, robotics, programming and gaming, forensic chemistry, digital storytelling, and beats making hackathon. There will also be innovation immersion sessions for parents to provide them with the tools to help inspire, support, and develop their students’ interest in STEAM learning.
