🛬Our JASC teams are heading home from Boston today, and we couldn’t be prouder! These students worked so hard to prepare for the Future Bound by Junior Achievement competitions, and they represented the Space Coast beautifully. 🚀
📉In the JA Stock Market Challenge, team Sophrosyne Advisors from Viera High School faced 32 teams in a 90 minute investing simulation – each minute standing in for a day on the market. They climbed to 2nd place early, dropped to 23rd by day 24, then battled all the way back to 7th by day 70. That comeback earned them, the Resilience Award presented by RSM.🏆
In the JA Social Innovation Challenge, Manatee Monitor, and Forget-Me-Not, from Bayside High School presented their business ideas with passion, poise, and real knowledge under the judges’ questions.
🚨Manatee Monitor was selected to interview for the Chick-fil-A community impact award for their innovative manatee alert system.
💜Forget-Me-Not earned 2nd place overall (out of 14 teams) for a reminder, device and app to support the millions living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease – and their caregivers.🏆
None of this happens without our educators, volunteers, and donors. A special thank you to Aaron Mitchell and Kevin Black for bringing JA Take Stock in Your Future and JA Be Entrepreneurial to your students.
To every volunteer who mentored and every donor who believed – your impact is beyond measure.
Congratulations to Nicole, Kloe, Haley, Alina, Razz, Carson, Michael, and Richard. We are so proud of you. Your future is bright.✨
