Students pitch 'The Digital Reset' through INCubator.edu; board approves $19,033 in reimbursed CTE supplies
Summary
Students from INCubator.edu presented an app called 'The Digital Reset' and the board recognized their work; later the board approved $19,033.20 in CTE supplies to be fully reimbursed by CEANCI.
Denise Werner introduced Jason Brunke and his students to present INCubator.edu, the district's entrepreneurship curriculum adopted from Barrington Educational Foundation. Students Maddox Franklin, Joey Tuzinkiewicz and Zakary Vaughan described their project, "The Digital Reset," an app they say is designed to help people "build healthier relationships with technology, one step at a time."
The board formally recognized the students and Mr. Brunke for their leadership in entrepreneurship. Later in the meeting the board approved the purchase of CTE program supplies from The Home Depot in the amount of $19,033.20; the minutes note this purchase will be 100% reimbursed by CEANCI.
The INCubator.edu program was described in the minutes as being in its 12th year and adopted by nine high schools nationwide from the Barrington Educational Foundation; the curriculum emphasizes rapid problem‑identification and market validation for student startups. The approved supply purchase is intended to support CTE instruction; the district recorded that CEANCI reimbursement will make the purchase cost‑neutral to the district.
