NSU University School Fourth Grade Students Pitch Their Own Business Ideas in Shark Tank Junior

NSU University School fourth grade students learned about the value of entrepreneurship during the Shark Tank Junior event. Students came up with innovative business ideas and pitched them to potential “investors” in front of an attentive audience. Students presented goals for their businesses, commercials, channels of distribution, advertising plans, and costs vs. profits.

“Key Mic” won 1^st place for their efficient and kid-friendly keyboard design that has a built-in microphone to appeal to gamers. The team utilized the resources in our Innovation Lab to construct the functioning prototype. Students also had the opportunity to hear from real-life entrepreneurs. We thank the NSU University School parents who volunteered their time to provide feedback and inspire our students.

Following this event, our seniors concluded their month-long entrepreneurial program at a school-wide trade fair where they displayed their unique products and services. All event attendees received three chips to give to the companies they would most likely invest in after hearing their sales pitch.
