Expo 24- Entrepreneur Pitch Competition
Our financial literacy program features a dedicated entrepreneurship component and engages a classroom of 35 Rocky River High School students in a comprehensive learning experience. The curriculum delved into the fundamentals of financial management, equipping students with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their money. The entrepreneurship aspect ignited their entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and innovation. Through hands-on projects and mentorship, students explored the intricacies of business planning, market analysis, and financial projections.
​
The program's impact of Expo 24 was evident in the remarkable achievement of eight of thirty-five students who confidently pitched their business ideas to a panel of twelve judges, who were local business leaders in the community. The Entrepreneur Pitch Competition ( Expo 24) provided invaluable exposure and feedback, empowering these young minds to refine their concepts and pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations. The program's success underscored the importance of financial literacy and entrepreneurship education in nurturing the next generation of business leaders.
