Junior Shark Tank:

Junior Shark Tank is a highly competitive Internship Program focused on systems engineering and entrepreneurship that guides up to 30 High School aged students through the ideation, planning, development and creation of a product and a resulting business. The event will take place in June through July and lasts 4 weeks. Through those 4 weeks, the students participate in a variety of instructor-led and student-led activities focused on hands-on, experiential learning. Student teams are partnered with technical and business mentors to help guide their projects. Instruction sessions are supplemented by guest lecturers from industry that come to present to the students on topics related to their area(s) of expertise. We coordinate a panel of technologists and business leaders to judge the projects at the end of the four weeks. The winning team is awarded a scholarship based on the level of contributions from our sponsors. Additionally, students get the benefit of networking, instruction and mentorship from Pittsburgh based leaders and innovators acting in the role of Business and Technical Mentors, Judges, Instructors and Speakers to guide and inspire our students.
