The fourth annual Spring Entrepreneurship Sale was another great success. Throughout the project, students engaged in hands-on learning by reviewing market research, collaborating in teams, and developing products that could be created within the school setting. Each group presented their ideas in a “Shark Tank”-style pitch, allowing them to refine their concepts and address potential challenges before moving forward.
From there, students created supply lists and worked together to bring their products to market. This year’s class was smaller, so several program alumni returned for a few classes to add products so there would be enough for the student body. This added an extra layer of collaboration and community. In total, seven unique student-designed products were offered for sale. Staff and student volunteers assisted with cashiering.
This experience provides young entrepreneurs with valuable skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and customer service, while also giving their peers the opportunity to make purchasing decisions and practice handling money in a real-world setting. A customer satisfaction survey will be conducted this week, which will provide feedback to this group, and provide market research for the next sale.
Proceeds from the sale benefit the Student Activity Account. Funds raised have already been used to purchase games and activity books for indoor recess, as well as new outdoor playground equipment—directly enriching the student experience.
