And that is what these 25 seniors did! Six weeks of intensive workshops followed the in-school portion of the program, and all that hard work was on display last night – through their presentations and their poster boards. The crowd was at capacity, filled with family, friends, teachers, principals, and many from the business and philanthropic communities. Not to mention the 25 amazing judges, who faced the task of evaluating the students to determine who would earn scholarships.
You can see the full list of participating students and judges, as well as witness some of the action on our Twitter page.
Note: New photos as of April 2016 below – and watch a new video featuring the Senior Challenge students!
