In this program, students go through all the stages of building a startup, going from an idea to a complete pitch in less than a year.  Students in this program prototype their product, talk to potential customers, and explore different business models and see which one suits their startup.  At the end of the program, teams compete against each other for cash prizes and the opportunity to compete at the global competition.  Additionally, alumni of this program have access to internships, as well as other opportunities from companies that have partnered with the program.
Alumni of this program consist of many successful NWSE participants.  I was wondering if you could spread the word about this program in the NWSE portal because I strongly believe that many students who are involved in STEM would greatly benefit from such a program.  Here is the signup link for the program:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUaOsUSL5z16cGztgyENA9QvZR4SwQWsOdzqYI_2y7ugVGAQ/viewform .
