Teams move through the INVENTURE Factory, completing challenges that work to develop their business idea. At the end of the assembly line, teams present their ideas to local business mentors. For each INVENTURE Day, a winning team is chosen and awarded a trip to the University of Nebraska, Lincoln's Innovation Campus.
The INVENTURE Day program covers the following entrepreneurial topics and activities:
- Widget Distribution
