Back for our spring cycle, The Amazing Case is a week long case competition focusing on social entrepreneurship and business. Learn more about the entrepreneurial experience from featured speakers and get ready as teams of 4-5 high school students from diverse backgrounds work to solve issues within our community and spark life-changing ideas. This year due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be more of a push for students to be adaptable and innovative with presenting their solutions.

This year the online case competition includes:

• An introductory case structure workshop with 2 guest speakers
• Prizes for the top two teams: First Place Amazon gift cards, Second Place EXIT Escape Room tickets
• Opportunity to strengthen problem solving, public speaking, and adaptability skills through tackling the case
• Valuable connections with fellow high school students and university mentors
• A certificate upon completion of The Amazing Case
