Flowboat is a youth startup organization in Waterloo where bright young minds come together to be creative with science and technology. Flowboat members can choose to focus on a variety of challenges to improve their skills in physics, computer science, business, environmental sustainability and anything their team chooses to tackle. Each year, around 50 students across Waterloo Region form groups of 4-6 people to create an innovative solution to a real-world problem. Each newly formed company is provided with mentors, lessons, and feedback to prepare them for a variety of pitching competitions. The timeline is from September to May and can continue to the next year to further grow their business and perfect their product. Built from the ground up for high school students, Flowboat is designed to provide today's youth with the entrepreneurship experience they need to tackle the problems of tomorrow.
