In the competition, we were able to use information we have learned in class and apply it to our business, as well as really refine our researching skills. The process taught us how to write a business proposal, and showed us what a proper business presentation looks like. We have also built relationships that we wouldn’t have been able to before (including having new friends on Facebook!), and we will be able to use these relationships in the future!
