A key component of building this ecosystem is developing the workforce of tomorrow – training students and young adults from diverse backgrounds in order to help them be better qualified to enter the technology economy and entrepreneurial workforce.Startable is a program that works with high school students from Southwestern Pennsylvania and helps them learn about and become actively engaged in technology and entrepreneurship. Over the course of the program students develop, design, prototype, brand, market, and pitch products of their own creation.

Virtual Childcare:At our in-person events, we usually have on-site childcare and want to provide that to parents at our virtual events as well. We are proud to offer a Virtual MiniCamp session in partnership with (IW Portfolio Company) Flexable during this event.<a href="https://app.flexablecare.com/organization/innovation-works/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Use this link to register your child for this free Virtual Minicamp</a>. <a href="https://app.flexablecare.com/organization/innovation-works/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Virtual MiniCamps are interactive sessions for children ages 3-10 designed to keep kids busy while you attend your event without interruption. Led by a trusted, vetted Virtual Host through a password-protected video conference, kids get to know (and see!) each other while parents get distraction-free time.
