I wonder if you've seen or heard of the work of DartBoston, BostInnovation and GreenhornConnect? All 3 organizations (I run Greenhorn Connect) are working hard to break down barriers and make it easier for anyone, and especially young people, to become involved in the innovation community. What's really exciting is that our efforts over the last 6 months (BostInnovation and Greenhorn) to the last year (DartBoston) has not gone unnoticed and many established organizations are now making changes and starting new initiatives to be more open as well. I'll be publishing a post on Greenhorn Connect tomorrow specifically addressing how I think we can best engage students. There's a lot of low hanging fruit to be had that could go a long way to improving our local innovation economy. Best Regards, Jason Clark,
