Our Commitment

 

Design with Equity

 Project Invent is committed to ensuring equally high outcomes for all participants in our program. Our goal is to decrease the opportunity gap in STEM and entrepreneurship, especially for Black, Indigenous, and LatinX youth. In accordance with our values, we strive to combat our unconscious biases and build an equitable program for all students, fellows, and community partners.

Our goal is to ensure every student has a clear path to success. We’re building a plan to get there.
