Welcome to the iGen Challenge!

​The iGen Challenge is for grade 7-12 students that want to innovate and engage with entrepreneurship. Students gain access to mentors from the local businesses find solutions to real world problems. Students are guided through a start up process to create enterprises, find funding, build a network and make an impact in the innovation ecosystem in the Okanagan. Many young entrepreneurial minds in Central Okanagan Public Schools need coaching, mentorship and opportunity to innovate.  ​The iGen Challenge has been created to meet this need.
