Dorchester teens take third at national entrepreneurship competition

LAS VEGAS — A group of teenagers from Dorchester’s Community Academy of Science and Health won third place in a national entrepreneurship competition Saturday night.

The students were out in Las Vegas for the Sage Global USA competition.

To get there, they won a competition in Boston and raised thousands of dollars by selling their product.

That product is an aromatherapy stress ball that you can squeeze to release a scent designed to keep you calm -- they call it Aroma Squeeze.

The students are part of the Build program, which pairs kids up with mentors and helps them stay in school and get into college.
