Young Entrepreneurs Find Success at National Competition
NSU University School Junior Achievement Alpha Essentials team.
Congratulations to the NSU University School Junior Achievement Alpha Essentials team who won 3rd place in the JA Company of the Year Category at Junior Achievement’s National Student Leadership Summit held in Washington D.C. Each team member, Andrew Hurowitz, Cole Becker, Alexis Bogomolni, Evan Gutkin, and Alexander Shuster, also won a $1,000 scholarship.
Their company created the KarKit, a convenient bag of car safety and personal essentials. The kit includes 12 items — a window breaker/seatbelt cutter tool, first aid kit, tire gauge, hand wipes, tissues, deodorant, led flashlight keychain, stain remover, breath freshener, rain poncho, multi-function pocket survival tool and anti-texting/driving pledge card.
The competition brought together 75 of the best Junior Achievement fellows from across the United States. For three days, the students participated in high impact Junior Achievement experiences including learning how to network, social media training, and practicing their presentation skills. They even presented their company’s product or service to Members of Congress during the Entrepreneurship Expo on Capitol Hill, and spent time seeing the sites in the nation’s capital.
We are so proud of our students’ success in the JA Fellows program and look forward to seeing them continue to excel in competitions to come!
