The Pevely Elementary CATS students participated in a Shark Tank competition with St. Clair Elementary Challenge Program students on Tuesday, April 22.
The Shark Tank competition is similar to the Shark Tank TV show. Each participant or group of entrepreneurs created a prototype, advertisement, slogan or jingle, and a presentation. They gave their pitches to the Sharks, and then the Sharks asked them questions.
Congratulations to Oscar Blair (Auto Clean Pro), Evan Schmitt (Brick Buster Vacuum), Eliana Beck, Monroe Jakubs, and Micah Beck (Sip N Clip), who were TOP 5 Finalists.
The following entrepreneurs earned special awards:
Ibty Adams, Lily Wright, Kapri Lang, & Zaxon Holder (Cuddlebot): Most Creative Invention
Trenton Smith & Ashidbayar Endersuren (Dishaway): Best Solution to an Everyday Problem
Thank you so much, Jennifer Hawkins and the Challenge Program for hosting this competition!!! A huge thank you to our SHARKS: Mrs. Husereau, Mr. Koenigsfeld, Mrs. Rutledge, Mrs. Dierker, Mrs. VanNess, and Mr. Gross.
