Farmingdale State College invites its students to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit with Ram Tank, the campus’s own version of the popular TV show Shark Tank. Designed to spotlight student innovation, Ram Tank offers an exciting opportunity for individuals or teams to pitch original business ideas to a panel of experienced judges in hopes of receiving funding, mentorship, and recognition.
At Farmingdale, the competition begins with a campus-wide call for entries. Students submit their applications and, if selected, go on to present live in front of an audience and a panel of expert judges. The event is part competition, part showcase, and all opportunity.
It has become a hallmark event for students looking to gain real-world experience, develop their public speaking skills, and connect their academic work with entrepreneurial ambitions. Beyond prizes, participants benefit from professional feedback, networking opportunities, and the confidence that comes from presenting to a live audience.
The date for the next Ram Tank event is November 19th, 2025, but students interested in participating are encouraged to begin developing their ideas. Application details and updates will be posted through the School of Business. As a launchpad for innovation and career development, Ram Tank remains one of Farmingdale State College’s most exciting and empowering programs.
