Entrepreneurship Team Wins No Barriers Global Impact Challenge

The AT Entrepreneurship class will be giving their final pitches on April 24th in the Little Theater
at 7:30 PM. All are welcome. Our AT students have been working feverishly, prototyping, testing
and reiterating based on feedback. The teams have focused on problems they identified from  
visiting the Sunshine Children's Home, and through interviews and research. Several teams are
trying to create connections for non-verbal children through apps or websites. Other teams are
working on games that teach cause and effect and create a sense of community. Another team is
creating a 3D printed rail system for mounting medical devices on a wheelchair. And one team is
working on an adaptive shirt for children who can't dress themselves.

Gary Sheinbaum, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger Americas, and Mindy Scheier, President and Founder of
Runway of Dreams, gave a presentation about their adaptive clothing line. Afterwards, they listened
to teams pitch their ideas and gave feedback. Our students were invited to work with the PVH
Innovation team and we visited their headquarters where students pitched their ideas and received
feedback.

We are pleased to announce that one of our teams, focusing on adaptive clothing, has won
the No Barriers Global Impact Challenge for their design. This team consisting of seven seniors,
received a check for $5000 from Wells Fargo and No Barriers to continue work on their prototype.
They will also be attending and presenting at the No Barriers Summit 2019 in Lake Tahoe, California
in June.
