In a city as car-reliant as Memphis, getting people to explore alternate ways to travel is tough. But that's the task before Suzanne Carlson, who joined the Innovation Team this year. Along with a growing list of strategic partners, she is improving transit choices in Memphis, particularly for those dependent on public options.
For new local startup Code Crew, Memphis has all we need to be a thriving tech city – if we are willing to teach our youth. The organization empowers kids from underserved communities to be tech innovators through computer science training. Their pilot program, Grizzlies Code Camp, has kids learning app development while hopefully developing a love for tech.
Over a year after opening its doors, the Crews Center for Entrepreneurship is delivering on its mission, developing a community of young innovators who are equipped with the education and experience to convert ideas into startups and pitches into capital.
