May 27--Around South Florida, organizations have mobilized to immerse talented college and high school students into the startup life.
Venture Hive, the accelerator/incubator in downtown Miami, held an Intern Open House last week with 19 startup companies and 57 high school and college students, said Susan Amat, Venture Hive's founder. The high school students were part of Miami-Dade Schools' tech-oriented magnet programs, said Amat, who also chairs the Miami-Dade County Schools STEM Board, and university students came from FIU and other schools.
