On Dec. 5, Oyster Bay High School welcomed students from across Long Island for a Virtual Enterprise (VE) trade show, held in OBHS’s gym. The trade show was a dynamic event where budding entrepreneurs showcased their innovative businesses in a simulated marketplace. Representing Oyster Bay was NomadNest, the high school’s own Virtual Enterprise firm, alongside twelve other firms from five participating schools.

Upon arrival, attendees were given a special VE credit card, enabling them to “purchase” products and services from the virtual companies. While no real money or physical goods exchanged hands, the experience provided students with invaluable lessons in salesmanship, marketing, and customer engagement in a realistic business environment.

Participating schools included:

* Huntington High School (4 firms)
* Manhasset High School (1 firm)
* West Hempstead High School (2 firms)
* Nassau BOCES Center for Community Adjustment (1 firm)
* Comsewogue High School (4 firms)

Virtual Enterprise is a hands-on, immersive curriculum that transforms high school classrooms into thriving virtual businesses. Throughout the academic year, students assume roles within their company, working collaboratively to develop, refine and implement a comprehensive business plan. Teachers act as consultants, guiding students as they navigate the complexities of running a business—from managing daily operations and producing deliverables to analyzing growth, making strategic decisions and responding to market challenges.

Oyster Bay’s own VE company, NomadNest, exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit fostered by the program. The student-run firm has been developing innovative products and services designed to meet the needs of modern travelers. In January, NomadNest and other VE companies will take their business acumen to the next level by competing in a Shark Tank-style pitch competition at Long Island University, where they will present their ideas to a panel of industry professionals.
