Class Experience

The goal is for each learner to launch their first functional and *potential* money-generating online business by the end of this camp. Each day of the camp your child will learn the fundamentals of starting an online business from the safety of their own home. 

I'm a practitioner of the Socratic method of teaching so these classes will be highly interactive with real-world examples, case studies, and questions and answers. I intend to use PowerPoint slides and videos to facilitate the discussions with the class. 

My goal is to have every learner speak and share their thoughts so they can become comfortable with talking to their potential clients and gain the confidence to sell their products and services with ease.

In this online business camp, we’ll explore several online business models that are available today, create business plans, validate business ideas, create a product or service, perform competitor analysis, learn how to set up a one-page website or sales page, buy domain names, connect a payment processor, and more.

After each session, they’ll receive access to the worksheets and templates to continue learning and practicing their business skills. I will also send an email each day with additional ideas and resources so that your child can get their creative business mind stimulated.

We will conclude the camp with a capstone presentation. The learner will give a 3-minute presentation showcasing their new online business. My hope is that this will give them a taste of what it's like to build something they're proud of and present it to an audience. Who knows maybe one day their idea could end up in front of the Sharks of Shark Tank or at a pitch competition like YCombinator.
