Teen Innovation provides youth, primarily from under-resourced communities in Connecticut, with opportunities to develop problem-solving skills, gain confidence, and explore STEM career and college pathways.
Teen Innovation Ambassadors spend six weeks over the summer creating original programs and exhibits that teach others about STEM.
