Students with Solutions
Shark Tank for a scholarships

To conserve oceans, a pair of high school junior had solution:
Convert storm runoff and sewage into fuel.

Jonathan and Luis spent months doing research to compile a 20-page proposal that singled them out for that singled them out for the inaugural superintendent's innovation challenge.

Now came the hard part : Convincing a panel of judges in three minutes that their idea merited $20000 in scholarships.

Their assigned pitch coach, Amy , director of education at fairchild tropical botanic garden, was there to help.

"It's your story,"Padolf told them.
"Tell your story."

With Padolf cheering them on , Wong and Garcia were one of three teams whose problem-solving solutions surveyed grilling questions by judges.

This was similar to the popular reality show "Shark Tank,"
where entrepreneurs  pitch their business plans before celebrity investors.

With pledges for matching donations from community members, each winning student took home $10000.

Miami Superintendent Alberto created the challenge after he received $10000 in scholarship money form the Council of Great city schools.

But instead of passing along the money to one student, he created the "Shark Tank" - like challenge.
