About SEEDS
SEEDS is a STEM-based entrepreneurship education program for youth in Puerto Rico. Utilizing coffee, one of Puerto Rico’s most important and delicious resources, our year-long curriculum (prepared by the award-winning team at The Biz Nation) teaches public school children how to run an agri-business from the ground up. SEEDS allows students to tackle real-world business problems and engage in a mentorship program with leaders in business from on and off the island.
