Mr. Nunziato’s 3rd-Grade Class Hosts Innovative "Shark Tank" Presentations

Posted Date: 06/08/26 (03:15 PM)


This afternoon, students in Mr. Nunziato's 3rd-grade class participated in an immersive, cross-curricular "Shark Tank" project. The assignment challenged students to step into the shoes of entrepreneurs by conceptualizing an original invention, building a consumer scenario, establishing a pricing model, and pitching their final products to a panel of "Sharks." As a reward for their ingenuity and business savvy, participating students received classroom "Nunz' bucks."
A special congratulations goes out to the creators of Epic Drone Delivery, who won the top investment of the afternoon, securing a grand prize of 900,000 Nunz' bucks from the Sharks!
The presentations showcased a remarkable range of problem-solving skills, creativity, and public speaking. Featured student inventions included:

  • Cool Breeze Hat & Indestructible Paper
  • The Pringle Picker & The Phone Seal
  • Portal Fruit 3000 & Unbreakable Charger
  • Smart Pack Cooler & Hello Kitty Pal
  • Drones: Fold-O-Matic * Drones, The Rescue Ranger,Epic Drone Delivery
We commend all of our 3rd-grade presenters for their hard work, dedication, and excellent economic strategies. Thank you to Mr. Nunziato for organizing such an engaging, hands-on learning experience for our students!
