BROOKVILLE, Pa. (EYT) – Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce is again teaming up with Brookville Area High School and inviting the public to the Wheelers & Dealers event in December.
The event is set for 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 21, in the Auxiliary Gym at Brookville Area High School.
Economics teacher, Nancee Miles, leads the project each year with seniors learning how to design, fabricate, and market their product.
Students must come up with a unique product using recycled or low-cost items they think will sell; part of the assignment is creating print ads, commercials, and a presentation.
The event was created nearly two decades ago by former Econ teacher, Bill Kutz, teaching the students important business principles and managing money.
Allegheny College is participating this year, allowing the students to enhance their entrepreneurial and educational opportunities through a scholarship for a student attending the college.
This event is free to attend and is a fundraiser event for the Class of 2024.
Attendees will be able to purchase play money at the door to vote for your favorite products; a limited number of items are available for public purchase, depending on product and the demand.
All donations benefit Class of 2024.
Brookville Area High School is located at 96 Jenks Street.
