Indian Hill students showcase startups in 'Big Pitch' entrepreneurship event
Summary
Students presented entrepreneurial projects in the district's 'Big Pitch' showcase (likened to a 'Shark Tank'), with two winners chosen and district leaders praising student poise and community partnerships.
Indian Hill High School students presented entrepreneurial projects to a panel of judges and the school community in the district's 'Big Pitch' showcase, described during the meeting as "like the Indian Hills Shark Tank." One presenter described the event as an opportunity to bring design-thinking to real problems and to connect student ideas with community partners and alumni.
Superintendent (speaker 9) and other board members credited community partners — including the Indian Health Foundation and volunteer judges — for supporting student learning. Student projects referenced in the presentation included IH Buns (a student-run smoothie stand), Assisly (a platform for middle and high school students to find flexible work), and a Bray's pollinator garden proposal. "Tonight, you'll witness each group share their groundbreaking ideas," one student emcee said during the presentations.
