🚀 Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators

This past weekend, had the opportunity to support , a hackathon that brought together over 130 students from Grades 7–12 to build, innovate, and tackle real-world problems.

What stood out most were the ideas, questions, and passion these students brought to the event.

🔹 A Grade 8 entrepreneur building a real estate product asked how to understand user problems when users won’t talk. An amazing conversation about finding creative ways to learn from users and the journey of an entrepreneur.

We were genuinely impressed by the maturity and thoughtfulness of the conversation from a middle school student.

🔹 A team of Grade 8 young women working on improving the early detection of ovarian cancer. Their passion, research, and commitment to solving a meaningful problem were inspiring.

We can’t wait to help connect them with the right mentors and resources as they continue developing their idea.

🔹 A Grade 7 student team wondered if a career-planning website was “too simple” of an idea to pitch. It sparked a great discussion about how solving an important problem is only half the challenge—the other half is clearly articulating the problem and why it matters. Often, that’s the most critical part of building a successful product.

These conversations reminded us that STEM education is about much more than coding and robotics. It’s about developing curiosity, creativity, empathy, communication, and problem-solving skills.

A special thank you to the TurnerHacks leadership team and student volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring together over 130 students. Events like these are only possible because of your passion, dedication, and hard work.

If these students are any indication, our future is in very promising hands. 🚀
