Graduate students from Yale University’s School of Management (SOM) recently visited CELC Middle School as part of the SOM Day of Service. Middle school students were engaged in a Shark Tank simulation experience led by the Yale students. The focus was identifying and developing unique ideas, and trying to solve problems related to ecology and sustainability.

Similar to how a think tank would operate, students worked in teams to problem solve and form their ideas. Groups were encouraged to stretch their thinking. Students then presented their solutions.
