•To expose youth to new ideas and innovation in the hopes that they will view entrepreneurship as an option for their future. Rather than leaving the region to look for a job, they can have the confidence to create their own opportunities close to home and know that there is support for them should you choose to do so.
•To expand the reach of the competition to more schools, continue to integrate the competition with other entrepreneurship education opportunities at the high school level and beyond, and explore partnerships with interested groups to accomplish these goals.
