Congratulations to our Startable Teams! Students were busy this past semester learning the entrepreneurial and engineering skills to bring their business ideas to life. Last weekend, they competed on stage, winning prizes of up to $1000. Ten teams from Northgate High School, Bentworth High School, Penn Hills Charter School for Entrepreneurship, and Environmental Charter School shared their ideas – from an automated medicine & feeding device to an AI fashion mirror. Some students even made prototypes of their products!
