Student teams will pitch their business ideas and product demonstrations to a panel of judges at the Student Business Incubator Showcase at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Triggs Student Center at SMU in Dallas.
The event will showcase more than 150 high school entrepreneurs taking part in the INCubatoredu program. The students will pitch a total of 32 business ideas during the 9:30 a.m.-to-Noon event.
The students have spent the year developing innovative business ideas in a “Shark Tank”-style course and will now present their solutions to the public for feedback.
Participating North Texas schools are Carroll High School, Newman Smith High School, Community High School, Emerson High School, Centennial High School, MacArthur High School, Lewisville High School, Lone Oak High School, and Sanger High School.
The INCubator Business Showcase allows students to present their innovative business solutions, collaborate locally, and share their developing entrepreneurship experiences.
Get on the list.
