The Description

With these funds I will...

help our best student inventors actually get their idea to market. We will work together to access the mentors and resources of www.stationhouston.com in our efforts. Our goal of $400.00 is to cover the monthly rent payment, which started on January 2nd, 2017.

What is Station Houston?

Studies show that startups succeed most if they have access to experienced mentors, diverse talent and leadership, practical education, and an active network. At Station, you get all this and more: Expert mentors and service providers, an experienced and knowledgeable team, insightful programs, and a proactive work environment that fosters connection and collaboration. For more information see: www.stationhouston.com.

We have already gathered momentum! We already have seven young inventors lined up to launch. So, we started January 2nd with a full load of steam. Our goal is to launch one invention into commercialization each month. 

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will fund the YIS operations out of my own pocket, as I have done for the prior 28 years.

The YIAA is no longer a tenant at Station Houston

May 7, 2017

To all: The YIAA was evicted from Station Houston last Thursday, May 4, 2017. Therefore, the funds raised will be devoted to internal operations and growth for the Young Inventors Showcase.

This campaign no longer involves Station Houston, as they terminated the YIAA rental agreement this past Thursday. I will now use the funds to simply apply to operational needs and internal growth.
