Mt. Pleasant, SC - OCA dual enrollment Public Speaking students, taught by Allison Dodson-Bonaminio, will put their persuasive speaking skills to the test with a fun "Shark Tank" style speech project.

Students will develop a real or fictional product and deliver a short persuasive pitch to their classmates, working on communication, organization, confidence and the art of making a compelling case.

The presentations will take place October 27, October 29 and November 5.

OCA is looking for community members and parents who would like to serve as celebrity judges or donate small prizes for the students. If you're interested in helping our young entrepreneurs take the plunge, please contact Allison Bonaminio.
