Fledgling STEM (Stem-based Teen Entrepreneurs & Mentors) Program supports the focus area: Educating Tomorrow’s Scientific Leaders. Our program will match youth entrepreneurs with local mentors as they develop their business models, form their pitches, create prototypes and more.
This program will help you work toward your goals that monetize your interests and passions, leading to a stronger economic future for yourself and your family. It will also provide an opportunity for more experienced entrepreneurs, mentors and coaches to find happiness in serving a higher purpose beyond self as they support and lead a young mind through difficult processes of entrepreneurialism, so if you have a special mentor in your life, tell them to join you! Mentors can sign up here:

The program is offered to students in grades 7 and up. We are looking for teens with an idea that includes science, technology, engineering and/or math in their entrepreneurial pursuit. Keep in mind, math and science are everywhere! If you aren't sure if you'd be a good fit, please contact Jerry Norris at The Fledge with questions: 517-230-7679 or
jerry@thefledge.com.
It is NOT first come, first served. We will select teen entrepreneurs based on answers to the questions, feasibility of project described, relevance to local Lansing problems, inclusion of STEM and availability of mentors.
Thank you!
