The Classroom of the Future Foundation (CFF) has combined the excitement of the hit show “Shark Tank” and the need to support innovative San Diego County superintendents to create an event called “Supe Tank“.
Supe Tank is a unique way for superintendents to share innovation that is taking place in our 43 school districts by pitching their project—a program, initiative or idea—to a room full of potential partners. Superintendents participating in Supe Tank are given 5 minutes to pitch an innovation from their district. Last year’s presentations resulted in several partner connections for our San Diego County school districts, including one district receiving $100,000 for their pitch.
CFF’s Supe Tank 3.0 will be hosted by the University of San Diego on Thursday, October 26 from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. Industry partners, educators, and community leaders are invited to learn about the innovation in our school districts. They will be given the opportunity to meet with the presenting superintendents at a reception after pitches.
The hope would be that school leaders and industry leaders would come together and form their own partnerships around some of the ideas presented.
