Biology Class Presents at Shark Tank
At this year’s Biology, Impact, and the Zoo Shark Tank, our students proved that science and purpose are a powerful combination.
Congrats to all four teams who pitched incredible ideas: Daisy’s Daycare, Rebound, Verity, and our winners, the creators of Pantriiq, a student-designed app tackling household food waste.
Thank you to our judges:

Biology, Impact, and the Zoo is an Upper School Social Impact Science class, where students collaborate and apply design thinking to solve environmental issues in partnership with experts from the Dallas Zoo.
At the end of the year, they produce a culminating pitch to area industry leaders in a “shark tank” setting that addresses an identified environmental problem and competes for funding.
