Something New, Every Year.

We’re always exploring creative partnerships and unique opportunities to support educators and inspire students.

Here are a few highlights from 2024-2025:

World Food Championships

We teamed up with the World Food Championships, giving student teams exclusive media access to capture culinary action behind the scenes. Students interviewed contestants, sampled dishes, created engaging social media content, and gained valuable skills in media production and digital storytelling.

Innovation Cobot Workshops with Telabotics

Partnering with Telabotics and Vincennes University, we piloted hands-on robotics workshops across Indiana. Students and educators learned directly from robotics experts, programmed collaborative robots (cobots), and connected with local manufacturers to explore exciting careers in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and STEM.

Youth Innovation & Entrepreneurship Caucus

In January, we helped launch Indiana’s first Youth Innovation & Entrepreneurship Caucus alongside the Indiana General Assembly. This event brought together policymakers, educators, and students to champion real-world problem solving, future-ready skills, and a culture of innovation statewide.

Battery Innovation Center Partnership

In collaboration with the Battery Innovation Center (BIC), educators received a paid opportunity to develop innovative, hands-on energy storage curriculum. Fellows collaborated directly with industry scientists, presented their curriculum at training sessions, and brought cutting-edge STEM learning into their classrooms.

Fireside Chats with World-Class Guests

Each quarter, classrooms across Indiana tune in for live virtual Fireside Chats featuring influential leaders. From actress Tiffany Haddish to Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole, educators and students engage directly with changemakers, ask questions, and gain inspiration through candid conversation.
