Lake Hamilton School District

Y.E.S. COMPETITION Lake Hamilton Gifted and Talented students have been offered virtual and onsite opportunities this year. The students chose a project related to their own interests. The sixth grade group (pictured) chose to compete in the Youth Entrepreneur Showcase (Y.E.S.) project sponsored by Arkansas Capital Corporation. The Y.E.S. competition is a project where students write a business plan, create a product, and explain how to produce, sell and promote their product. This group of students chose to start a business called Split Snack. It is a plastic bag to hold more than one snack. They also researched plastic waste and how their product may help in slowing waste. Each year at the Arkansans for Gifted and Talented Education conference the winners of the competition display their products.
