THE GREGORY SCHOOL
ENTREPRENEURIAL INSTITUTE

combines our MIT Network Fab Lab’s emphasis on imagining and conceptualizing and its resources for designing and building with the mentorship of alumni and community entrepreneurs.

The Entrepreneurial Institute is integrated into our school community and interacts with students and faculty at a variety of grade levels and with a variety of skills and interests, as well as parents and family members.

Students attended StartUp Tucson's 10West Festival. 

Students promoted their product at the Startup Tucson Food Expo.

The Entrepreneurial Institute is open to Gregory School juniors and seniors by application. Students apply in spring for the following academic year. The class meets three times per week: during its regular block, plus a dedicated Friday Exploration.
