This week, our team visited Nokomis Junior High and Hillsboro Junior High to host mock trade shows with 8th grade students.

Teammembers set up their booths, delivered their pitches, and gained valuable real-world practice as they prepare for our upcoming trade show. Each interaction helped build confidence, improve communication, and refine their booths.

The 8th graders didn’t just observe - they engaged, asked questions, and got a firsthand look at what the CEO program is all about. Experiences like this continue to build momentum for both our current class and future entrepreneurs.
