The Debut of Raider Shark Tank

Come cheer on our student-entrepreneurs as they pitch their best ideas and compete against each other for a "$25,000" investment from three real life entrepreneurs as part of Raider Shark Tank this Wednesday, April 5, in the Rogers Memorial Theater!

Central Catholic's Entrepreneurship Classes will present Shark Tank this Wednesday night, April 5, at 6:00 PM in the Rogers Memorial Theater. 

Students only need to bring their student ID to be admitted to the show! 

Refreshments and snacks will be provided at intermission.

Check out the graphic below for a list of the student-entrepreneurs (and their businesses) who will be competing in the event, and our three very special guest sharks who will be judging them.

 

The Honors Introduction to Entrepreneurship course, taught by Mr. Matthew Sansoucie '06 (Math, Business, & Technology Teacher), provides students with a solid foundation in terms of the vital role played by entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in the 21st century global economy. The course is offered for dual enrollment with Syracuse University so students can earn both college credit and CCHS credit.

"I always watched the show “Shark Tank” in the past," notes Mr. Sansoucie," and I thought it would be a fun way to get the kids to be more excited about developing their business ideas."

About the Honors Introduction to Entrepreneurship Course

Throughout the semester, students will assess, explore, critique, and celebrate the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship as a manageable process that can be applied in a variety of organizational setting.

The Honors Introduction to Entrepreneurship course has a multi-faceted approach focusing on the following:

• The creation of new ventures, the ways that they come into being, and factors associated with their success. Students will be encouraged to develop and defend their own set of conclusions regarding each of these issues.
• The integration of several disciplines, ranging from sociology and psychology to economics, finance, marketing, and human resource management.
• Exploring theory with practice, where students will be challenged to apply principles, concepts, and frameworks to real world situations.
• Discovering ‘Sustainable entrepreneurship’, entrepreneurship over the life cycles of people’s careers, organizations as they evolve from start-up enterprise to sizeable corporation, and societies as they move from undeveloped to post-industrial.
