High School Venture Incubators support RHS student inventors
REF is pleased to see the support and benefit RHS students are receiving in this program.
“Since its inception in 2007, the Fashion & Design Show has functioned as a venture incubator, providing mentoring, financing, networking, and social media marketing for young entrepreneurs to test out their designs and prototypes.
Last May, Gabby Shapiro, Radnor High School Class of 2017, who is now a freshman at University of Miami, participated in the Fashion & Design show after her successful “mainstage” effort in the first-ever EDVENTURIST World Series held at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy.
Enrolled in the inaugural RHS venture incubator, which was managed under the auspices of alumnus Christopher Massaro and volunteer mentors, Shapiro invented an ingenious product – a magnetized backing which prevents losing or misplacing earrings for pierced ears.”
