The INCubatordu program is an authentic entrepreneurship experience which allows students to connect directly with the community and industry in real work, product-based learning settings to create and fully develop their own product or service.
Entrepreneurs and business experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors, guiding student teams through the many facets of starting a business. Vandegrift students participating in INCubatoredu will have the chance to pitch their business concepts to a “Shark Tank”-like industry panel for feedback and potential funding assistance. Those who complete the process successfully will advance to the second year of the program.
