Sharks at Mercy

Students in Mrs. Barker’s Environmental Earth Science class dipped their toes into Mercy’s ‘Shark Tank’ waters by pitching designs for a thermal travel coffee mug as part of a class project. Mercy Girls brainstormed, designed, tested, and presented their mug design, which had to be created from a list of materials that included aluminum foil, Styrofoam cups, and cotton balls. A special shout-out to entrepreneurs Ella Pratt ’24 and Claire Wirt ’24, who received the most offers from the panel of Sharks for their ‘Caffeine Canteen’ and ‘Coffee Like Substance Vessel.’ #MercySTEM
