Fort Collins High School’s Advanced Marketing Students are collaborating with Mantooth Marketing Company and OtterCares Foundation to host their third annual Innovation Challenge: FCHS Shark Tank Edition on December 4, 2015 at McNeal Auditorium. McNeal is located on the northeast corner of the campus. The event will be open to northern Colorado students, ages 13-18.
The INNOVATION CHALLENGE will consist of three different challenge categories:

· Finding a new use for an everyday item
The grand prize winners from the three categories will receive $1,000. The second place winners will receive $500.
The event will take place from 10:15-1:30 p.m. on Friday, December 4. Student projects and presentations will be evaluated by a panel of three business-minded judges, all of whom were selected by the FCHS Advanced Marketing students.
