Students Take Inventions in "Shark Tank"-inspired Class
Eighth grade students recently put their inventions to the test in a “Shark Tank-" inspired class. Their inventions ranged from mashed potatoes in a tube for those on the go to an online custom sneaker shop where customers put their creations online for someone to make.
After about a week and a half of research, product development and pitch preparation, students took to the stage and pitched their inventions to several sharks. Like the TV show, students had to ask the sharks for their investment in their companies and the sharks had to outbid other sharks for the business.
The bidding was fierce at times, but in the end, all of the students came to the table with creative and marketable ideas.
