Hi, we are Pocketeers! "Pocket that animal!" Pocketeers is a school business project that is part of our economics class in our pathway called CAST, a career and technical education (CTE) arts program at Balboa High School.

This business project was presented to Walmart.com (Walmart's office) and was placed in third place in the Shark Tank Competition with other business projects. The Shark Tank Competition was a contest held by Walmart.com to determine the three most successful student business projects.

We sell pocket t-shirts with unique and cute designs. Here's our prototype down below.

Making the Shirts

We go to Balboa's after school program because they offer printshop. Here's our process in silk-screen printing one of our shirts down below.

Young Entrepreneurs

As young entrepreneurs, we learned that single sourcing is important because if you want satisfy your customers with the original quality of product, then you should continue to keep that same quality. We also learned that staying organized is the key to keep track of our orders and profit. Lastly, we had a lot of fun presenting this at Walmart.com since it was a wonderful experience being able to meet real business partners to give us live feedback on our business project.
