✨ SWTC’s First-Ever Entrepreneurship Market Day – A Huge Success! ✨
We are proud to celebrate the success of our very first Entrepreneurship Market Day at Southwest Technology Center! This milestone event showcased the innovation, creativity, and hard work of our student entrepreneurs as they launched their businesses to the public.
Congratulations to our top student businesses:
🥇 1st Place – Blessed Bundles by Emily Dobbins
🥈 2nd Place – Hook n Home by Katie Day
Many student booths completely sold out, reflecting both the strength of their business ideas and the incredible support from our community.
👏 A huge shoutout to Denny and Altus McDonald’s for generously sponsoring our Market Day prizes and supporting our students!
🏆 1st Place received a $100 gift card
🏆 2nd Place received a $50 gift card
🍔 In addition, every student contestant received a free meal, making the day even more special!
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to our SWTC students, staff, and the Altus community who came out to shop and support. Your encouragement made this first event truly special.
This Market Day served as a valuable soft launch experience, giving students the opportunity to test their products, interact with real customers, and gain meaningful feedback. These insights will help them refine and grow their businesses as they prepare for larger-scale opportunities.
We are incredibly proud of what our students accomplished and are excited to build on this success in the future.
