Academic literature and extensive studies indicate that a small fraction of incoming first-year college or university students have a foundational understanding or appreciation of entrepreneurship. Even fewer have the disposition or inclination to pursue an entrepreneurial path. The purpose of this proposed study is to measure the level of innovative and entrepreneurial (I&E) attitudes in elementary students and assess how nurturing activities over time affect those same students' I&E mindsets. Students will be in the fifth and eighth grades in the public-school systems in Jefferson County, Indiana. The study will use quantitative descriptive and explanation research design and will utilize a control group. This study will investigate the correlation of elementary I&E mindset growth and age appropriate I&E leaning activities in order to actively promote and nurture future entrepreneurial intentionality. Presenters will discuss hypotheses related to how nurturing activities over time affect those students' attitudes towards innovation and entrepreneurial thought. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage with presenters. [For the complete proceedings, see ED626149.]
