University School Fourth-Graders Showcase Business Ideas

As part of their entrepreneurship unit, fourth-grade students showcased their creativity and entrepreneurial skills by developing an innovative product along with a business plan, marketing strategies, and a commercial. Students recently pitched their products and business ideas, in Shark Tank style, to teachers, classmates, and judges who selected the winning product.

This year’s fourth grade Shark Tank Jr. is Pet+ Paste founded by student entrepreneurs Nina and Kinley. To help pet owners save on vet costs, Nina and Kinley created Pet+ Paste, an emergency paste pet owners can have readily available that will save their pet’s life in case they eat/lick a poisonous toad or get into harmful chemicals.

During this year’s event, third- through fifth-grade students who were in attendance had the opportunity to hear from our keynote speaker Steve Greenberg, award-winning author, reporter, TV personality, game show host, and expert on innovation, new products, and technology.

We are incredibly proud of all our fourth-grade students for their creativity, teamwork, and hard work in developing their products and business skills.

Congratulations, Sharks!
