Meet the Group
We are a group of six aspiring freshmen entrepreneurs at the University of Maryland, College Park. As part of our College Park Business, Society, and the Economy Scholars program, we were tasked to plan and execute a trip to D.C. The goal of this trip was to uncover the real keys of innovation in the capital city. In order to accomplish this we had to keep an open mindset as we accomplished all our required tasks while at the same time observing our surroundings in search of anything remarkable. The following website documents our adventures, the insights we discovered, and the fun that we had!

His nickname for this trip was "Jaywalk" because he led the team across the middle of the road when it was a red light which led to the team getting honked at.
