3) a chance for your students to present to top investors and tech leaders in Silicon Valley.
4) to be a part of our community of educators who believe that real-world problem solving means better learning.

Before applying, make sure you can commit to the following:

A team mentor can be anything (student, teacher, parent, tech volunteer, etc.) but you have to be willing to commit to attend summer training and run the team throughout the year.
