Students will work in a small group mentored by an entrepreneur, graduate students or a business teacher from local high schools to craft an elevator pitch, develop a business plan and present to a panel of judges who are investors and entrepreneurs. Prizes will be awarded. Students will also have an opportunity to apply the concept they learned to a simulation game and other recreational activities.
