In our Business Sharks class, students play the role of young entrepreneurs as they start with the germ of an idea for a business and product and take it through the entire entrepreneurial process. Our students develop prototypes, formulate a business plan and devise a marketing strategy. Using a Minecraft-type program, they create a storefront to sell their products. Meanwhile, students practice their public speaking skills as they create and record “TV commercials,” and create a video version of an “elevator pitch” for the “Sharks.” These young entrepreneurs will really be taking care of business!

Note: This program requires the students to create two videos at home with a tablet or smartphone. Editing software is helpful but not required. We also use a Minecraft-type program called Minetest (for which we send download instructions) in which they create a storefront model. Alternatively, the students can build their storefront with legos at home and take photos for the teacher and class to see.

All classes take place in the Zoom classroom.

This class is presented by Right Brain Curriculum, a company committed to delivering engaging, hands-on, experiential learning programs to after-school centers and camps in the New England area and beyond.
