Lemon-Aid Challenge (Business Pitch Competition and Workshops - Collaboration with ETF MA)

The Lemon-Aid Challenge requires participant teams to put a unique spin on a lemonade business while also addressing one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through a 6-week course, students will learn the basics of building their own company and pitching products to potential investors. At the end of the class sessions, there will be a formal pitch competition with a $100 grand prize for the winning team. This competition is only open to students in grades 6 to 9, and students should compete in teams of 3-4. If they are applying without a team, students are willing to be matched up with another student that has applied individually.

You can find the curriculum slides here for an overview of course concepts.
