NYL scholars will be guided through the process of starting their own business, and developing creative solutions to address issues identified in their communities; and, and if scholars want to start their own company, our staff can help you along the way!
NYL supports Youth Entrepreneurship through 2 initiatives:
YRDEI™: An educational program that exposes students to current research and development projects occurring at our national laboratories. Students apply for research topics, either as an individual or as part of a team, and work with a corporate and/or science mentor(s).
YETTI™: An educational program that exposes students to current technologies available for licensing by our National Laboratories. Students apply for a technology, as an individual or a team, and work with engineering, science, and business mentors.
