Four members of Bayside Middle School's MakerBot team demonstrated the products they designed using TinkerCad and a 3-D printer to three Virginia Wesleyan College business students (Adam Byrd, Lena Nguyen, and Mario Thourogood) and three business professors (Linda Ferguson, Paul Ewell, and Bob Albertson) as part of a mock shark tank on January 21. The seventh and eighth-grade students shared an infomercial and a product pitch for the cell phone accessories they designed. In February, the team will compete in the Virginia Beach Public Schools' MakerBot competition (STEM Trifecta).
