Midwest Kidpreneur Exhibition

On Wednesday, March 21st Team Gibbas students participated in the first annual Midwest Kidpreneur Exhibition.  Students were tasked with the job of increasing tourism in the midwest by designing an innovative tourist attraction.  The tourist attraction needed to draw upon the state's natural resources and take into consideration the area's geography, climate, physical features, history, and landmarks.

Each entrepreneurial team needed to design a physical prototype of the tourist attraction, create a logo for their attraction, show their tourist attraction on a map, and create a persuasive oral presentation explaining why their tourist attraction would be profitable for the state.

Students were knowledgeable, creative, and very convincing!
