CO.STARTERS Generator

This fall, a new program called CO.STARTERS Generator is launching for students in grades 8 – 12 in Southern Virginia.

CO.STARTERS Generator is a modular self-paced program that helps teens explore their passions through generating, testing, and launching ideas. With the ability to choose which modules are best suited to your timeframe and concept. CO.STARTERS Generator is a great way to inspire youth with the vision, enthusiasm and tenacity needed to move from idea to action.

CO.STARTERS Generator Workshop

This workshop is your chance to experience the first module of the CO.STARTERS Generator program, first-hand, with our trained facilitators from Longwood University and the SOVA Innovation Hub.

Then, you’ll have the opportunity to continue the program by signing up for the online, self-paced course that starts in October 2021.
