This is the second year for the Kansas Youth Virtual Entrepreneurship Challenge. This is for all school-aged children from K-12.
To enter, students must create a 3 to 5 minute video pitch (similar to shark tank) on their business ideas. This can range from a lemonade stand to a drone business to a new invention and everything in between. The sky's the limit!
Similarly, the video can be taken on a cellphone or it can be elaborately edited or anything in between. You can use props (ex: dog walking business would use a dog in the video, drone business may have drone footage, tech business may have an elaborate video, lemonade stand could show customers stopping by to enjoy a refreshing treat.)
The best part - there is no possible way of "cheating." You are encouraged to use all the resources available to you. Ask for help from others in your community, practice in front of others and ask for constructive criticism. We live in wonderful communities filled with adults who will help students succeed. Reach out and create a support system and use the resources available in your community.
