On November 30 at the Phoenix Convention Center, 65 brave and curious student entrepreneurs participated in the SAP Social Innovation Series, working side by side with volunteer mentors from SAP to design and pitch a creative solution to a challenge in school health and wellness. 40 Projects were ultimately pitched to our judges, and ten were awarded $1000 to bring their idea to life! The winners are now all eligible to compete for our grand prize of SAP Teen Innovator - a trip to NYC to meet with the SAP team and Shark Tank's Daymond John! Thank you to all of our SAP supporters and volunteers and to the 180+ amazing students who participated over a single week - you inspire us every day!
