From Classroom to Company: Building the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

What could happen if we started treating students as entrepreneurs today, instead of someday?

Join Don Wettrick of the STARTedUP Foundation and Tristen Black of Tulsa Public Schools for a conversation about bringing entrepreneurship into the classroom and creating opportunities for young people to build real businesses.

Drawing on STARTedUP's work in Indiana schools, our speakers will explore what it could look like to bring a similar approach to Tulsa, connecting education, innovation, and our local entrepreneurial community.

What to expect: Lessons from student entrepreneurship programs, ideas for connecting classrooms with real-world business opportunities, and inspiration for supporting Tulsa's next generation of founders. Featuring: Don Wettrick, Founder & CEO, STARTedUP Foundation; Tristen Black, Director of Secondary Strategy & Academic Operations, Tulsa Public Schools Moderated by: Dr. Laura Latta, Executive Director, Tulsa Higher Education Consortium, and Director, Mayor's Office of Children, Youth and Families
