Goldman Sachs and One World Middle School students participated in a SuitUp business competition where they created new products/services for Nike and pitched them to judges. Team 3's "Nike Smart Accessories" won. Both volunteers and students found the experience impactful. Students are now interested in careers like business and marketing, and both groups want to participate in SuitUp again. The event highlighted skills like communication, teamwork and leadership. SuitUp aims to continue serving students through corporate volunteer partnerships.

SuitUp Student
My favorite part was breaking out into smaller groups and getting to
see students who were quieter in a big group ideate/execute on
what they came up with in the brainstorm session. Also I got to
answer questions students had about college, finding employment,
and leadership! - Goldman Sachs Coach
I loved talking to everyone and sharing my ideas with everyone. -
