Bosque School's 8th-Annual Shark Tank

Students in Ms. Moore’s economics class pitched their original business ideas to a panel of “sharks.” Inspired by the television show Shark Tank, our student entrepreneurs presented their clever products and explained how they would bring their concepts to life. The judges were truly impressed by their presentation skills, creativity, and business savvy.

Congratulations to the winners!

Isaiah C. and Garrett G. - “Most Viable”

Lauren O. - “Best Pitch” (tie)

Riah P. and Adie H. - “Best Pitch” (tie)

Luca K., Noah R., and Peyton D. - “Best Overall Project”
