Participants learned how artificial intelligence techniques could be applied to improving fresh food options in the USVI, as well as how to research and pitch a business plan idea.

The 25 students were assigned to groups - Mimi worked with two other students, one from St. Croix’s Educational Complex and one from Ivanna Eudora Kean. Love of Broccoli and New York City brought the team together.  Mimi's group was awarded the highest accolade "Best Overall" and she and her teammates will each receive a $75.00 prize award.
