Amp Lab at Electric Works

Shoutout to this quarters beam signing recipients! They were selected to etch their name in Amp Lab history. #amplab #electricworks #beam

Today was day 1 of our internal traction pitches. Students shared highlights, hurdles, and future implications of the work they have put in on their business models. Thanks to all of our mentors for pouring into our students! #amplab #entrepreneurship #electricworks

Work isn’t a straight line. Life isn’t a straight line. At Amp Lab, we use innovation and entrepreneurial spirit to try and embrace this complex and messy maze for each and every student. #amplab #fortwayne #cte

The power of community comes to life every day in the Amp Lab universe. #entrepreneurship #mentorship #amplab

This week, some of our student ventures are spending time at the downtown @ACPL location engaging potential customers and getting testing data. #entrepreneurship #community #amplab

From all of us at Amp Lab, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays! #amplab #pearlarts #therefinery #urbanfarms

Authenticity is a word that anyone can define how they want. At Amp Lab, it comes to life with raw continuous relationships. Sometimes students drop the ball with the mentors. Sometimes the mentor pushes them in a new direction. However, it is always raw, real, and authentic.

Pouring into the next generation is a vital element of the Amp Lab ecosystem. Mrs. Lahrman and our students always knock it out of the park. This week, we hosted the awesome 2nd graders from Croninger! #amplab #electricworks #exploration #handson

Amp Lab Senior, Ruby Campbell-Carpenter, who founded Tailored Bites with alum Emma Sanders, was featured in the 2025 Indiana Entrepreneurship Yearbook. See the full yearbook here: iedc.in.gov/docs/default-s…

Our student ventures got their first crack at feedback from their peers. From side hustles and social ventures to main street staples and scalable start-ups, we are excited to see what these ideas look like coming to life! #entrepreneurship #innovation #amplab

Momentum is built, not given. Last week many of our amazing student venture mentors gathered to set goals, share insights, and get ready to support our venture teams. #amplab #entrepreneurship #mentorship

The past week has been AWESOME! Students have begun the process of diving into what makes a strong start-up team and getting to know what values, interests, and skills their colleagues bring to the table. We cannot wait to see what student ventures are on the horizon! #amplab

This week, we celebrated our Quarter 1 beam signing recipients. Students were selected for their commitment to high quality work, developing an entrepreneurial spirit, and establishing a caring culture. #amplab #electricworks #fortwayne
