MakerQuest is an international education experience founded to introduce students to global models of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our programs allow undergraduates and graduate students to explore innovation economies around the world. Innovation - while global, starts locally.Our mission is to empower the next generation of globally capable entrepreneurs. Through close mentorship, cross-cultural communication curricula, and hands-on workshops, we inspire students to tackle global problems through technology, innovation, and empathy.Our model is simple: we function as an "accelerator" program to help students develop ideas and give them a taste of entrepreneurship - taking them from the ideation phase of creating a product all the way through to developing a business model. Entrepreneurship cannot be taught - however, it can be learned through experience. Our programs are set up to give young innovators the best resources to succeed after graduation - whether that be in the start-up world, or the corporate one.
