Today was our 2nd Annual ALPHA Shark Tank Presentation. Our 5th grade ALPHA students dove into the world of entrepreneurship with this Shark Tank activity. Students were challenged to come up with inventions and creative solutions to real-world problems, then pitch their ideas to our panel of "Sharks." We were blown away by their originality, confidence, and problem-solving skills!
