About this Event

Middle school students unleash their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit in our Shark Tank event, pitching innovative ideas to a panel of ‘sharks’ for feedback and potential investment—an exciting showcase of young talent, problem-solving, and business savvy!

Students will work individually or in small teams to develop a product, service, or business idea that solves a real-world problem. Through research, planning, and creative thinking, they will design a business model, identify their target audience, and determine key details such as pricing, marketing strategies, and potential profitability.

The highlight of the event is the pitch presentation, where students will step into the spotlight and present their ideas to our esteemed panel of sharks. These professionals will evaluate each pitch, ask insightful questions, and provide constructive feedback, helping students refine their business acumen and presentation skills.
