The Impact of Push for Entrepreneurship
Since its inception, 186 pushers have participated and raised $250,000 towards innovation education in low income Connecticut towns. Last year, Connecticut Invention Convention brought programs to 1,500 low-income students through the funds raised by Push for Entrepreneurship. Of these students:
• 83% self-identify as inventors of color
• 58% self-identify as female
• All 1,500 students come from low-income communities
