Buffalo High School students will be getting an opportunity to earn seed funding for their entrepreneurial ideas when they present their business plans this Wednesday at the BHS Auditorium.
IMPACT 307, Sheridan’s business incubator, will have a panel of judges that will be listening to and choosing one business idea from five student finalists from the teacher Kami Kennedy’s Advanced Entrepreneurial Class.
Scot Rendall, Director of IMPACT 307, explains more about how the inaugural BHS Start-Up Challenge came about.
Rendall said the BHS challenge could become a model for other school in the Sheridan area, and around the state, to get involved with their own challenge if there is interest enough from the students in the schools.
