John Marshall Student Becomes
a Finalist in the Teen Pitch Tank
Competition
Young Entrepreneur Institute was founded in 2005 with the belief that
entrepreneurship education and experience can make subjects such as math
and writing more relevant to students. Also that the intangibles necessary to
becoming a successful entrepreneur – perseverance, hard work, managing
adversity, overcoming failure, problem solving – directly mirror characteristics
necessary for success in life. This premise aligns with the goals and culture
supported at John Marshall School of Civic and Business Leadership. So it’s
no surprise that 11th grade student, Onyango Pearl rose to the challenge to
become one of five finalists in this year’s Teen Pitch Tank Competition.
Onyango’s idea is for a locker that will be secured by a student’s fingerprint.
The idea being that fingerprints are unique to every individual, so students’
belongings will be safer than
those held by a traditional
combination lock, and also
more easily accessible –
making a stop at your locker
quick and Congratulations
Onyango on your success!
