Between Capstone and Venture Accelerator, our high school entrepreneurs are finding real-world problems and creating applicable solutions. Students, such as Caroline Reitmeyer '21, have taken issues like eliminating single-use plastics from our ocean and created a program that turns those plastics into 3-d printer filament, Another student, Zach Schapiro '21, launched a mobile app called Election Accomplice for iOS, which was designed to engage students in the election process just in time for the November 2020 election.
Other projects include addressing addiction in the criminal justice system, an organic lip balm company that donates all proceeds earned to Operation Smile, and a nonprofit that aids the local homeless population by donating backpacks filled with necessities like toothbrushes, utensils, socks, wipes, and more.
