In order to give the youth an introduction to the basic concepts and giving them exposure to the entrepreneur's spirit of creation, students will pair up with a partner for a week where they will create, develop, and present their idea to an audience just how they would pitch their start-up to investors. Skills like brainstorming, development, and presentation (through activities like writing up their own business plan) will be acquired by students throughout the course as well as in introductory idea to what it really takes to be a true entrepreneur!

- Team Building Activities - Team building activities are a fun way to strengthen middle school relationships. They are good icebreakers and build strong bonds as students work together to solve problems. Team building activities create trust and ease conflict between students. They develop communication skills and help students recognize each other’s strengths. Lessons learned during these activities can be applied to real-life situations.
