A bus will be cruising through South Florida as a mobile workstation. Renovations were made to a former transit bus to make a classroom inside with WiFi in order to offer programs and classes on the go. 

The GBDC Entrepreneurship Institute, a Boynton Beach-based non-profit business incubator, launched the Mobile Entrepreneurship Leadership and Training (M.E.L.T.) bus in Boynton Beach recently. The mobile unit features services designed to help local youth, small businesses and the homeless population. The idea for the bus came from Annette Gray, founder of the non-profit incubator.
