The future of education belongs to innovators who see opportunity in change. Today’s edutrepreneurs—educators, leaders, and visionaries with a passion for impact—are uniquely positioned to design solutions that prepare learners for success in the age of AI. Join this panel of CEOs and Founders to discover how entrepreneurial energy, paired with CTE and AI-driven innovation, can transform classrooms into incubators of talent and drive lasting change for schools, communities, and industries. This session explores how entrepreneurial thinking in education, combined with the power of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, can create pathways for a new generation of learners, creators, and business owners. CTE equips students with hands-on skills, workforce readiness, and the confidence to launch their own ventures—while edutrepreneurs provide the vision and structure to scale these ideas and pilot them in school districts to empower success. Participants will gain practical tools, strategies, and resources for turning innovative concepts into sustainable ventures that enhance both teaching and learning.
