What's the Big Deal?
The EDUpreneurship summit will be a dynamic, groundbreaking event that has never been attempted before - by bringing together leaders entrepreneurship and education (two programs that the University of Michigan holds an incredible reputation for), we hope to create the next big thing in education reform. We will challenge participants to think outside the box, bring in their own unique experiences, and utilize innovative practices to develop solutions for one of our country’s largest problems. That being said, there will likely be no concrete solutions at the end of this summit - and that’s okay. Perhaps the most important aspect of this event is what happens afterwards. Throughout the summit, the event’s facilitators will constantly reinforce the importance of continuing to develop and perfect the ideas started during the weekend. Opportunities will be put in place for participants to meet outside of the summit in subsequent weeks to further develop their ideas - and be rewarded for them. This is not a “one and done event.” By registering for the EDUpreneurship Summit, participants are committing themselves to taking every opportunity they have to work toward developing innovative solutions to fix the problems facing education today, and we will make sure to hold them to that promise.
Who is Invited?
Participants will consist of fifty of the University of Michigan’s greatest movers, shakers, and thinkers - we’re looking for the leaders and best among the “leaders and best.” In order to participate in the summit, applicants must demonstrate a passion for reforming the way education works in the United States, as well as showcase a previous commitment to taking on challenges and working for a cause they believe in. We are attracting participants of all academic disciplines at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as exceptional high school students from the area. Additionally, school administrators, educators, education pioneers and entrepreneurs will be invited to serve as guest speakers and mentors for participants when developing their projects.
