RKYHS Students Place on Top in NJ Pitch Entrepreneur Program

As part of the Entrepreneurship elective at RKYHS, students developed ideas for a business and created business plans, complete with financial and marketing goals. These plans were submitted to the PitchNJ competition. There were 63 business plans submitted by high school students across the state of New Jersey, and only six were selected as finalists. Three of those six were RKYHS students’ business plans. These nine RKYHS students put together “Shark Tank”-like pitches and presented them at Fairleigh Dickinson University. The plans included “Tinty-Glass” which enables people to have privacy by adding a film to any glass with a button to control if the glass is transparent or dark; “CarCam,” a video doorbell for the car notifying the user to see if someone is at their car and providing the user the ability to unlock their car if they approve the user; and “VaxKey” which connects people’s fingerprints to their vaccine records and can be expanded for use in many other industries (Is the user of legal age? Does the user have tickets to a game or concert or show?, etc) The teams presented incredibly well and handled very challenging questions from the judges with poise and intelligence. One of the RKYHS teams placed third in the competition. RKYHS is so proud of all of these students.
