Middle school students in Salt Lake City participate in a Shark Tank-inspired competition to pitch their start-up ideas to business leaders in Utah.
Middle school students in Utah are participating in a unique educational program designed to foster entrepreneurial skills by mimicking the format of the popular TV show "Shark Tank." This initiative, part of the "Real World Learning" curriculum, involves students from grades 6-8 at Evergreen Junior High in Millcreek, Utah, where they learn to develop business ideas, create prototypes, and pitch them to a panel of judges. The program not only teaches them about business planning and financial literacy but also emphasizes skills like public speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork. Students engage in a competitive environment where they pitch their ideas, receive feedback, and potentially secure funding to bring their projects to life, preparing them for real-world business challenges.
