Tech Storm x Youth Ideation Summit

The Youth Ideation Summit provides a platform for youth in the DMV metropolitan area to gain exposure to various functionalities of technology. We wish to use an industry that the youth have the most experience with, which is media. Leveraging various workshops, we will introduce the product innovation and ideation process that top tech companies use to create products such as Uber, Twitter, Facebook and Google.

The Mission of the Youth Ideation Summit is provide hope to youth in underrepresented communities. Each and every student deserves an opportunity to extend their knowledge of the economic and technological environments that surround them. We hope that each student that leaves the Youth Ideation Summitgains more than an understanding of how to build technological products, we hope each student leaves with the confidence in their own abilities to create.
