Shawnee Mission School District’s R&D Forum Pitch Finals: “The Next Great Idea”

The Shawnee Mission School District R&D Forum is one of the district’s biggest showcases of the year. May 1, 2021 marked the 59th year of the forum, which included a virtual Student Showcase and a livestreamed Pitch Finals competition called “The Next Great Idea.” Participants competed for cash awards to help make their dreams a reality. We are proud to have partnered with SMSD for this event, made possible with the generous support of the Regnier family.
