How does it work?
Dream + Discover
Throughout the summer, student interns ask “How might we improve our community?” to understand what needs to change and define which factors are critical for success. By the end of summer, they have a business idea and a plan—but they still need a mentor.
Design + Develop
That’s where sponsors come in! Top companies in the Twin Cities each sponsor a group of their employees in becoming Revival mentors for a day. These professionals have been identified as not just technically skilled, but the kind of individual that our kids can look up to.
Deploy
Students and professionals will spend the day prototyping, testing, laughing, and racing towards the finish line. Before you know it, you’ll be proudly watching students present their ideas. The audience will vote for their favorite, and then we’ll celebrate with good food and drinks.
