Techno Chaos, a Tri-Lakes Chamber Member, invites you to join them on Monday, August 3rd, for a virtual discussion and collaboration on opportunities to enable and support high school students in their interests in technology, engineering and entrepreneurship. A new nonprofit, Monumental Impact, has been founded this year to foster internships with local businesses and enable students to provide offerings as either products or services that build their skills and raise funds. Monumental Impact will share their current status and efforts underway. We will then open up for discussion. If you are a business in the technology and engineering industry or an entrepreneur, we invite you to join us.
