The Youth Business, AI & Community Innovation Lab prepares young people for a changing economy through practical, project-based education in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, responsible artificial intelligence, product sourcing, supply-chain concepts, market research, digital commerce, technology, and career readiness.

Participants will explore how businesses identify opportunities, source products, evaluate markets, understand customers, manage inventory, use data, and apply emerging technologies to solve real-world problems. Youth will work individually and in teams to research challenges affecting their communities, develop ideas and solutions, and present what they have learned through projects and presentations.

The initiative is designed to expand exposure to business, technology, education, entrepreneurship, and employment pathways while strengthening critical thinking, communication, financial capability, and problem-solving skills.
