WHAT IS THE MAVERICK CHALLENGE?
The Maverick Challenge is a high school business planning competition for high school students in Southern Indiana that aims to further develop the innovative spirit of our region by reaching out to high school students and showing them viable career opportunities through entrepreneurship.
