D.I.C.E. Challenge

Success is unlocked by daring to roll the dice.

Much like the hit television series Shark Tank, the D.I.C.E. (Dreams, Ingenuity, Creativity, Entrepreneurship) Challenge is a regional competition in which high school students are tasked to create a business product or service, develop a business plan, and pitch their idea to a panel of seasoned entrepreneurs who serve as judges.  Business ideas and plans are evaluated and ranked, with the top 3 teams receiving funding to support their business.


The goal of the D.I.C.E. Challenge is to not only inspire high school students to learn about entrepreneurship and see small business creation and ownership as a viable career goal, but also help students understand the vital role an entrepreneur plays within a community: increasing economic growth, providing access to unique goods and services, and even promoting social change.
