Entrepreneurial students in the South Okanagan are hoping a competition will help take their business ideas to the next level.
A Dragon’s Den style competition is taking place this week for high school students in Summerland and Penticton.
Students take their business ideas to a judging panel of local business people and present on the innovation of their idea, the marketing of it and the finances of their business plan.
Ideas have ranged from t-shirts to inventions like a device that will make paintball guns shoot more accurately.
This is the second year for the entrepreneurial competition, which has 12 teams of high school and middle school students participating in it.
The competition is put on by Okanagan College’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) group.
