FlexFactor Judges are Impressed by Student Product Concepts

Wilcox High School students (Santa Clara, CA) continue to impress Silicon Valley engineers, academics, and government officials with their implementation of FlexFactor. This spring, Mr. Tony Raffetto’s Empowering Entrepreneurship class took on the FlexFactor program while attending class virtually. During the program small teams of students worked over Zoom to identify a real-world problem, conceptualize a hardware solution to the problem, and build a business model around it. At the end of the program, they pitched their product concepts to a panel of judges including Mission College Dean of Business, Technology, and Kinesiology, Mr. Jeff Pallin, as well as California Assemblymember Alex Lee’s District Director, Mr. Anurag Pal.
