Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) held a World Youth pitch competition in April which Nana Sekimoto from Hiroshima joined with her idea GOMIMIN: an app for people to get points while they pick up trash. Nana's pitch was the runner-up winner, so she will have $1000 USD to help get her idea into a reality.

In this talk, Nana will introduce her pitch to help people get more interested in picking up garbage where they live. Senior Manager of Global Programs for NFTE, Stephanie Alvarado, will also join the talk to introduce the contest and other work the organization does.
