About

Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute’s high school entrepreneurship program created an ecosystem of support for underserved high school students in Arizona who have innovative ideas for making the world a better place. 

Funding from the Cisco corporate advised fund at Silicon Valley Community Foundation helped to expand two existing programs that train high school teachers to embed entrepreneurial programming into their curriculum: Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) High and SEED SPOT NEXT, a social entrepreneurship program that integrates STEM, communication and design thinking skills.
