Program Description

Description

Are you ready to launch your own startup or product?

In this workshop, our Business Instructors will show you how to pitch an idea in front of investors... just like they do in Sharktank! Teens will work individually or in teams with other aspiring student entrepreneurs to brainstorm a business idea and create a pitch for it.

This is a great opportunity to learn some important foundational skills in starting a business!

Armed with their business plans, teens will make their pitches to a group of judges asking for “investments” in their budding businesses.

This workshop requires 2 Sessions: The First Session will teach the Teens about business and how to pitch their business. The Second Session will be a “Pitch Day” where the Teens will present their business to a group of judges.
