A group of local entrepreneurs listened and watched presentations about bug-repellent candles, an automotive service and high-heeled shoes that secretly contain pepper spray at Clear Creek High School as part of the entrepreneurial class.
Each team of high school students had a chance to earn $250 in start-up money if members of the Board of Advisors who volunteered experience and expertise for the students in the class were impressed.
The Clear Creek School District has partnered with INCubatoredu, a national entrepreneurial program for curriculum guidance. It’s supported by the Schools Foundation and the Daniels Fund, according to Career Connections Coordinator Dacia Kelly.
