Port Townsend’s 9th Graders Product Innovation Market
What happens when you ask every 9th Grader to create a team of classmates with whom to develop an innovative product, having at least one local ingredient, and then prototype it, design a logo, create packaging, and table display, and then scale it to sell at a fair for 100 plus attendees?
