What is your idea?

Niebo is an International School that teaches foreign languages to children. High School Federal curriculums lack in proper foreign language teaching.  Niebo looks to teach while students are young and curious in an environment with students of up to 15 who are in a classroom setting instead of a tutor session. Each language will be assigned to a qualified teacher who will be PROPERLY paid.

Who is your target customer?

Our target customers are parents who don’t have the time or energy to teach their children their or a unique foreign language. Just because a parent speaks a foreign language doesn’t mean they know how to. We solve the problem of teaching kids while their young so they remember unlike in Highschool.

Who are your biggest competitors?

Competition lies in with virtual tutors. There is some to no physical major competitors. This school would not only be unique but revolutionary to changing the multilingual education system. If tutors seem as a threat, we would hire the best as teachers for proper pay better than public school.

What makes your idea different? 

Niebo isn’t going to give you 2 languages like Highschool. We want to hire teachers of multiple languages for students to choose from. We aren’t teaching online, we want to teach in person and collaborate with children so they use the language every time they come into class with other students.

Why will your idea be successful?

Out of so many bilingual and monolingual parents I’ve spoken to, they fear that they can’t teach their children their mother tongue or have an urge to allow their children to learn a foreign language to have greta opportunities in the future. Parents not only want this for children, they need it. 

What is your idea?

Student / student athletes / anyone at a high school or college

What is your idea?

My Idea is a writing utensil that can be used in all occasions. This about a Swiss Army knife, something with multiple uses, but now think about it with different writing tips. I can just think of it now. Do you need a pencil? Pen? Highlighter? Colored Pencil? Crayon? White Out? Eraser? A writing utensil that is comfortable in the hand this is the one stop for all note taking needs.

Who is your target customer?

My target customer would be anyone who has the ability to write. Anyone should be able to use this product but if I had to target one specific customer, I would say a student/worker who needs to copy things down and take detailed notes.

Who are your biggest competitors?

First, any brands who already create different mediums that come in a back to school pack all together. Second, there is a company named Bic, and others, who make a pen that has more than 1 color on them. There is also a few cheaply made versions on amazon with pens, pencils and such but low quality

What makes your idea different? 

I do not think that any other company has created a product quite like this one. The item that I have came up with is going to be well made. It is going to have a comfortable hand feel. And you will have a multitude of mediums to use from that will make it easier than using individual mediums.

Why will your idea be successful?

I think that with my background of marketing and putting new things out there for people to see, my idea will be a great hit for all people of all types, as it creates a solution to a problem of many. Having too many different mediums in your pencil case/backpack.

What is your idea?

Our service is an e-learning platform that is designed to be used by school districts for teaching financial literacy and helping students research and select potential careers. The platform combines theoretical teachings about things like student loans and an in-house network that evaluates established professionals to give presentations about their occupations to help inform young students. 

Who is your target customer?

Our primary customer base will be public school districts. As of the end of 2023, 22 states require HS students to be educated in financial literacy. By 2028, that number is expected to grow to 39 states. Teen students are consumers by extension of their districts. 

Who are your biggest competitors?

EVERFI and Intuit are cited as having financial literacy courses designed for teenagers. These courses and programs are, of course, at will. 

What makes your idea different?

If we get enough school districts using our curriculum, it could standardize the learning area. Many young students need the tools and knowledge to make critical decisions about their future. This idea is different because it balances theory with in-person presentations of working professionals. 

Why will your idea be successful?

Very few people are opposed to the idea of educating our youth. Many complain about the usefulness of the required courses in a typical HS curriculum. No one uses trigonometry, but all must be informed and educated in navigating the economy and managing their money. 

What is your idea?

In "aero position", bikers must look down to maintain proper form and improve aerodynamics while racing. Neck pain is unavoidable when looking up to check the road ahead. AeroAlert is a live-feed system connecting a stereo camera to the rider's phone. Mounted in their line of sight while looking down at the handlebars, it allows riders to be faster, safer, and reduces spinal injuries and crashes.

Who is your target customer?

Competitive cyclists. This is a precise sport and having the best gear can be the difference between success and failure in training and in a race. Triathletes have notoriously deep pockets due to the cost of the sport and are willing to go to great lengths to improve their times and reduce injury.

Who are your biggest competitors?

Existing technology includes easily mountable dash cams for cars which can range from twenty to hundreds of dollars, but are not specifically marketed to bikers. There are also rear view camera screens designed for bikes at a similar price, but these do not alert the rider or connect to their phone.

What makes your idea different?

AeroAlert uses object tracking to determine what truly poses a threat before an alert, minimizing unnecessary distractions. This will make it more likely to be adopted and used long term by customers. Also, being connected to air phone allows for seamless integration into a rider's routine and gear.

Why will your idea be successful?

Many long-distance cyclists have phones available to track stats, use GPS, or change music. AeroAlert uses these existing habits to improve required racing form to be safer and more comfortable. Object tracking is already used in autonomous vehicles, facilitating its application in this use case.

Retired people from ages 62 to 80.

Who are your biggest competitors?

Senior citizen activity centers/adult day cares.

What makes your idea different?

Those who are in their 60's don't want to be considered "old" and a "senior citizen". Adult daycare centers can be depressing, while a café specifically catering to them would make them still feel useful.

Why will your idea be successful?

At this café, they can form friendships with other retired folks as well as refer the café to their friends to visit.

Who are your biggest competitors?

Direct Competitors: Self-screening and assessment tools (Mental health America Screening tests) and self-help apps (Headspace).

Indirect Competitors: CAPS screening services and local mental health screening services.

However, these services require the student to take the crucial first step.

What makes your idea different?

AURA identifies potential issues in students before they escalate, allowing for proactive intervention and early support. It provides personalized recommendations based on each student's unique situation. Additionally, AURA seamlessly integrates with existing campus resources like CAPS.

Why will your idea be successful?

Countless students become distant while facing mental health challenges due to the associated stigma. AURA uses state of the art AI to provide a novel approach by providing schools with a tool to identify students who might be struggling silently.

What is your idea?

The MedBox solves the issue of making medicine easily transportable. For those that travel, they need a small container that will hold their injection at a precise temperature.

Who is your target customer?

The MedBox is helpful for anyone who has a need for injectable medications (including but not limited to autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and general weight loss). This product is especially useful for college students or travel workers.

Who are your biggest competitors?

I have yet to find another company producing anything similar to this. Most users of the medication are instructed to travel with the injection in its original packaging which is quite bulky and not a controlled environment. The only slightly comparable solution is a cooler or lunch box. 

What makes your idea different?

As a user of Humira, the best way currently to travel with my medication is in original packaging which is much too large for carry on. This also includes having to bring a separate and unnecessarily large sharps container.

Why will your idea be successful?

The pharmaceutical industry is extremely profitable. People will always have health issues that require injections. This product could be sold internationally at large companies such as Walmart or sold to Beaumont. In face of a major power outage, the MedBox could save lives.

When the word cream cheese is mentioned, the first thing that may come to one's mind is the bagel it is slopped on top of. This is backed by a simple image search of "cream cheese". However, my idea is to innovate beyond the basic tubs and bars of cream cheese found within stores. So imagine, a ring of cream cheese with the perfect thickness to perfectly fit the size of the average bagel or bread.

Who is your target customer?

My target customer would not only be the everyday cream cheese enjoyer, but the cream cheese companies themselves. These companies already have deals with companies like Tim Horton's, who currently have no way to gauge how much cream cheese is used, wasted, or counted towards calories on sold goods.

Who are your biggest competitors?

My competitors are scarce because of the nature and business my idea pertains to. By patenting the idea, only I could sell the patent to whichever cream cheese company would like to advance their foothold in the breakfast world. Only other cream cheese companies would be competitors to my innovation

What makes your idea different? 

My idea is different from the average blocks and tubs we see today because the rings are not only the perfect option for a toasted bagel or bread, but would allow the average person to count calories, reduce waste in businesses, reduce the mess, apply even spreading, and be pre-measured for baking. 

Why will your idea be successful?

My idea will be successful because the product been successful for over 120 years and advances this product by applying the idea of simplifying life to consumers. Whether the everyday person wants to enjoy the perfect spread without utensils or a company wants to advertise exactly what you'll get.  

What is your idea?

Connecting Pieces (CP) is a site where families with Autistic/Disabled members can share resources, get services, and help one another. From having an Autistic brother, it was difficult for my family at first to find everyday services catered/trained for people with disabilities or Autism. CP will allow for servicers to advertise & be rated, resources/products to share, and advice to posted. 

Who is your target customer?

My target customers for this product are families with Autistic/disabled family members, caretakers of Autistic/disabled persons, educators for Autistic/disabled persons, and service providers catered towards Autistic/disabled persons. 

Who are your biggest competitors?

Currently, in the research that I have done, there are not any competitors with this exact idea for an app or website. The competition that I have come across is the already existing Facebook community pages for Autism/Disabled families. The Facebook groups have great outreach, which can be used.

What makes your idea different? 

 My idea is different because there is not nothing like this in the market right now, It targets a specific audience but, this audience is growing and wide. The idea will help the immobility of access to certain products or services for families in need. 

Why will your idea be successful?

I believe my idea for Connecting Pieces will be successful because of the need for something like this within my own family and many others in Autistic and Disability families. I have polled people in numerous communities to ask about their needs, and this product will satisfy them.

Although many companies exist that specialize in VR, none are specifically dedicated to modeling gyms. The main competition would be the gym’s social media itself, especially with the advent of 360-degree pictures which are often used for large gym franchises.

The VR model will be more immersive and detailed than pictures and videos on social media, allowing customers to explore at their own pace with a model that can be accessed with a smartphone, computer, or VR device.
