The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)

Visit a showcase of the entrepreneurial mindset and success stories from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). Founded in 1987, NFTE is a global education nonprofit that has ignited the entrepreneurial mindset in more than 1.5 million learners, including middle school, high school, and postsecondary students.  

Visitors are invited to delve into the young entrepreneur’s journey—from idea pitching students who are launching new businesses to successful industry leaders who are  major contributors to our American economy.  

This vivid exhibit invites visitors to imagine themselves as an entrepreneur, learn about the entrepreneurial mindset, and discover how they can develop their own skills to think like a founder. NFTE’s mission comes to life in an inspirational way as visitors navigate through 14 amazing stories about grit, creativity, and resilience. The journey ends with a fun and interactive test that introduces visitors to an abbreviated version of NFTE’s Entrepreneurial Mindset Index while testing their entrepreneurial acumen.

The exhibit is currently on display until summer 2026. To learn more about NFTE, visit nfte.com.
