Young entrepreneurs pitched robots as a business investment Wednesday at Webster Learning Center.

“He can talk he can show pictures on his face, he can move, and other stuff,” said William Hausman a 4th-graders in the St. Joseph School District Gifted and Talented program (GATE).

“Robots are not a toy, robots can help all around the world,” said GATE 4th-grader Joshua Peek.

Students in the GATE class presented their robot build to a panel of judges and attempted to sell the machine.

“As we build through the program we try to build through more entrepreneurship and getting the kids to understand business practices,” said GATE teacher Ashley Jevorutsky. “This is my first step to get the kids used to presenting to a group of people that is not necessarily their teacher.”

Students helped to put together a video advertising their robot and presented that video to the judges.

“They can help in the world,” said Hausman. “Go to outer-space, one’s up there right now on Mars.”
