No veo las horas de estar en la competencia nacional en Miami, de tener la oportunidad de reunirme con tantos emprendedores exitosos y de hacer mi presentación ante ellos", expresa Tyler Scott, estudiante finalista de la Business, Education, Technology Academy, seleccionado en la categoría "Más emprendedor".

En la BizFest Competition en McAllen participaron más de 30 estudiantes, en representación de 14 escuelas secundarias de la región. Los estudiantes escucharon las palabras de Sergio Muñoz, Jr., Representante por el Distrito 36 ante la Cámara de Representantes del Estado de Texas y tuvieron a Robert Nelson, Presidente de la UTPA, como miembro del jurado.
