Last night, BHS and the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation hosted the 12th Annual Business INCubator Pitch Night at BHS! The two student teams listed below received funding through the Educational Foundation in this shark-tank-like competition! 🥶 Frost Buster: a preventative spray designed to be applied to windshields and windows before freezing conditions, forming a protective barrier that stops ice from bonding to the glass. They received a check for $14,500!

They received a check for $12,000!

This student-led team creates a MagSafe-compatible container that attaches to iPhones for easy, secure storage of retainers and clear aligners. Check out their website: https://holdmate.net/ (fb)

This week BHS held its annual Innovation Showcase ahead of Business INCubator Pitch Night! BHS students enrolled in Career Technical Education (CTE) courses showcased their portfolios, and attendees learned more about the innovative spaces and career programs offered at BHS. It was a great way for families, especially those with younger kids, to see what’s ahead as their students move through Barrington 220 schools! (fb)
