BHS Students Attend Virtual Enterprise Competition

Babylon Junior-Senior High School’s virtual enterprise students received hands-on business experience at the Virtual Enterprises Long Island Business Plan Competition and Trade Show held on January 11 at Long Island University.

Twenty-five Babylon students attended this annual conference, which gave them the opportunity to compete in a variety of business-related categories including sales materials, booth design, sales pitch and website design. The students also pitched their business plan, which included an executive summary of their firm—Attire Wire—to a panel of judges. In all, the students made over $75,000 in virtual sales to other firms in attendance at the conference.

The experience gave them the opportunity to network with other Long Island virtual enterprise students, virtual enterprise adult supervisors and LIU professors and staff. It was a valuable opportunity for the Babylon students to learn first-hand about the ins-and-outs of business deals and networking in a simulated setting.
