[UR TURN](http://www.urturn.org/) was started in 2016 to shine a light on the most successful path for students. UR TURN's smart-advisor technology is designed to keep students in the driver's seat, charting a path for success in school and beyond. You might call it the Google maps of educational planning! UR TURN has recently landed three new school districts and engaged a new investor. The team’s hope is to have 50,000 students and a staff of 5.5 by 2019. Come support UR TURN – and 10 other amazing startups – at our upcoming showcase on Wednesday, April 11th at the [Machine Shop](https://goo.gl/maps/X4hdSJLvjDn). Doors open at 5:30pm.
