Jeff Croley and myself have worked with the K-12 Entrepreneurship Advisory Committee this summer to assist the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in developing a tool-kit for innovative Michigan K-12 entrepreneurship/Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs. The MEDC has established an asset map (in the process of being created) where the entrepreneurship programs are listed with various information such as the focus of the program, types of  comunity partnerships, past and present events/projects, and required resources.

A good example of this is the creation of the DeWitt Research and Development Lab. This is an independent study class that was created due to the networking of the DCG. Students determine the topics that they want to research (they decided upon bio-fuels).
