In this fun, fast-paced, and highly engaging course, students will brainstorm a business idea, build it, protect it, organize it, and present it! This is a TON of knowledge and experience packed into a 10-week course!

During week 1, each student will brainstorm their own unique business idea. The remainder of the course will walk students through the process of turning that idea into a real, and very comprehensive business plan!

Finally, we'll host an Entrepreneur Fair! Students will prepare a 3-5 minute presentation to share their business plan and convince me, the "shark tank", why I should 'invest' in their business! Students will be encouraged to get creative and have fun with these presentations! 

Weekly topics will cover:

1)	The Importance of Small Business / Developing an Idea

3)	Branding / Writing a Mission Statement

Weekly homework assignments will help students perform practical, real-world research, planning, and business development directly related to the lesson. For example, students will design a logo, write a contract, visit the US Patent & Trademark Office website to see if their business name is available, and much, much more!
