You have had the opportunity in Term 2 to explore Shark Tank. Your task this term will be to work on a sales pitch/presentation about a product or service of your interest. A few rules:

Rules About the Product:
- You may invent a product or service from scratch.
- You may take an existing product or service and change it slightly in order to improve it. If you choose to do this, you may not use the same name as the original product (e.g. a Band Aid improvement cannot be called Band Aid).

Groupings:
- You will work in groups of 1, 2 or 3 of your choice that is in your class.
- You will not be allowed to swap groups with anyone else. By now, you should know who you work best with.
- You will be expected to have a joint Google doc whereby you share your ideas. Refer to what you have to hand in every week. 

The Project Itself:
- Your task will be to present your product to Miss Darcy and Mr Lima (The Sharks) by the end of the term. Your initial pitch/presentation will have to be between 2-4 minutes. 
- You will then have to ask for an investment (to borrow a certain amount of money) from "The Sharks".
- After that, you will have to either allow "The Sharks" to touch/use your product or provide an example of your service. 
- You may choose to use a Powerpoint, Google Presentation or Prezi to help you, however you are not allowed to read from the screen. You will have to know your presentation so well that you can just talk about it, not memorize it.
- The Sharks will ask you questions such as:
* Why should I invest (let you borrow my money) in your product?
* How will I make money from your product?
* How many have you sold or how much money have you made so far?
* How long have you had the business?
