Show notes

In this fantastic episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by The Evolllution, we talk with Don A. Wettrick CEO, President at the STARTedUP Foundation. Don talks us about how (and why) we can incorporate entrepreneurship in middle and high school. He also discuses his take on the difference between being clever and innovative. Listen in to hear a very innovative practical example of a win, win, win scenario that a few of his students created! 

Don Wettrick is the founder of The STARTedUP Foundation, author of “Pure Genius: Building a Culture of Innovation and Taking 20% Time to the Next Level” and Innovation Specialist at Noblesville High School, central IN.
