Join us for the Santa Clara County FlexFactor Finals, where the top student teams from participating Santa Clara County high schools take the stage to pitch their product ideas to a panel of industry professionals.

FlexFactor: Innovation Bootcamp is SFMade’s youth project-based program that introduces students to advanced manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and STEM careers. Over the course of the program, students identify a real-world problem, design a product to solve it, and build a business case around it. Along the way they develop critical thinking, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills they’ll carry into whatever comes next.

Come cheer them on, hear their ideas, and see what the next generation of innovators is building. After the pitches, stay to connect with students, educators, and industry leaders over drinks and light snacks.
