BGCD Members Compete in NFTE Entrepreneurship Challenge: Fifteen Club members of BGCD entered their business plans in the NFTE Biz-Academy Entreprenuership Challenge last Friday.

Throughout the 2 week summer Biz-Academy, each student came up with a business idea of their own ranging from an actual product, to an app, to a service. Each plan explains exactly what the product is, all of the expenses and costs, who their market is and how they’ll attract customers.

Judah, the winner, will now be entered into the video round online against all of the other students who won Biz-Academies across the country. Winners of this video round move on to NFTE’s National Competition in NYC against students who won regional competitions during their school year programs.
