Teen Innovators

Teen Innovators is a 12-week experience for high school students who are curious, creative, and eager to explore woodworking, textiles, electronics, and coding.

Meeting once a week, participants develop technical skills while learning from experienced educators and engaging with professionals from a variety of industries. Through hands-on, STEAM-based projects and collaborative design experiences, teens strengthen their confidence as problem solvers, communicators, and leaders. Along the way, they gain insight into the pathways that value creativity, innovation, and making.

Whether you’re exploring a future career or simply love learning new skills, Teen Innovators offers the opportunity to experiment, collaborate, and discover what’s possible. Application due date for Fall 2026 is Thursday, August 27 at 5:00 p.m.
