Senior Shark Tank Project, Due June 9th
Our senior Economics classes are taking their final foray into the world of free enterprise with the annual Shark Tank project! The Shark Tank is a fun play on the popular NBC TV series of the same name, which puts our students to the test creating business plans and pitching their businesses to our esteemed panel of judges! Below is an example of one of the show's many success stories!
This activity is designed to help students utilize the economic concepts they've learned this semester as well as practice their public speaking and their organization skills!
Students will need a tri-fold board in order to complete their presentation for this project. Here is a link where a tri-fold board can be purchased cheaply and conveniently: Amazon.com : 8 PCS Trifold Poster Board- Large 40" x 28" Tri Fold Display Board Hard & Thick White Presentation Cardboard for Science Fair, School Projects, and Business Presentations Supply : Office ProductsÂ
