What:
|
|
|
Teens in Tech Labs invites you to its annual Teens in Tech
conference. In addition to a stellar lineup of rock star guest
speakers, this year's conference will showcase six teams of
teenagers, launching their first startups and respective products
that resulted from the Teens
in Tech inaugural Incubator program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over the past several weeks, each team has worked alongside veteran
tech mentors, advisors (i.e.: from Google, Salesforce, Appcelerator,
BlueRun Ventures (News - Alert), Dorsey & Whitney and others) to grow their
startups. The mentors shared life lessons and work experiences, held
white board and collaboration sessions, and led workshops on
everything from coding to protecting IP, to marketing, selling and
funding the teens' companies. The Incubator program culminates with
each team launching their products at the conference's "Demo Day."
