Multiple business student teams from JR Tucker, and Freeman High Schools and Elko Middle School competed against other area school teams to propose solutions to business needs from Bank of America, Capitol One, and Carmax. Each team made a business pitch to reps from these companies like the Shark Tank TV show. Our students worked very hard on their pitches and wowed the company reps. The event was sponsored by Code RVA, VCU School of Education, Center for Innovation in STEM Education, and Code VA.
