Homeschool, afterschool clubs, community- and faith-based programs that serve high school students can participate in the OAN Pitch Challenge. Teens pitch their ideas, compete for prizes, and meet successful entrepreneurs. Get involved in 3 easy steps:
- Register your teen program before March 2.
- Use the free Young Entrepreneur Pitch curriculum and get free resources to teach entrepreneurship.
- Hold a pitch challenge in your program.
The top two pitches advance to regional contests and the top regional pitches advance to the May 6th OAN State Pitch Challenge–held in conjunction with COSI Columbus’ Science Festival. Tickets to COSI, lunch, and stipends to offset transportation costs are provided.
A full day intensive training on teaching entrepreneurship to high school students will be held at the Ohio Afterschool Network Best Foot Forward Conference on Thursday, February 20. A 90-minute session for adults who work with elementary and middle school students will be held on Friday, February 21.
