Lindbergh High School will unveil a new vending machine soon, but it’s more than just snacks and drinks.

Managed by students in the Marketing Internship program, pictured above, the project offers hands-on experience in business management. From accounting and inventory control to pricing and promotions, students will be able to apply classroom theories in real-world scenarios using the vending machine.

Supported by a Lindbergh Schools Foundation Innovation Grant, the vending machine is not only a practical learning tool but also a funding source. Profits will help finance DECA members’ travel to competitions.
