UTA Fort Worth

What happens when you give Fort Worth students two weeks, real business problems, and a stage to pitch their ideas? Innovation, collaboration, and a whole lot of pizza.

UTA Fort Worth and UTA West were proud to partner with TechFW, Junior Achievement of Chisholm, the Fort Worth Park & Recreation Department, Fort Worth ISD, and others to bring the inaugural Young Entrepreneur Summer Camp to life. We were honored to cover registration costs and fund the prize giveaways for these incredible teams.

Watching these 13 to 16-year-old entrepreneurs tackle real challenges, build their pitches, and present with such confidence was a highlight of our summer. We had the privilege of celebrating their success right here at UTA Fort Worth this past Friday, with Mayor Mattie Parker on hand to announce the pitch competition winners.

Entrepreneurship is alive and well in Cowtown, and the future looks bright. Read the full story from the Fort Worth Report:
