Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The specific items will assist me helping students to cultivate their entrepreneurial spirit. My goal for this project is for scholars to come up with a solid business plan and an understanding of how to work for what it is you want to achieve. All students are special just not mine!!! I am excited about the opportunity to give them real life experience that may net the profits and knowledge to grow with. The following is a description of the project.

Project Title: Entrepreneurs Startup Challenge "I Own That"

Objective: The objective of this project is to empower students to think creatively, develop entrepreneurial skills, and gain hands-on experience in launching a startup venture.

Project Description: Students will work in teams to develop a startup business idea from concept to execution. It will have several phases: Idea Generation, Market Research, Business Plan Development, Prototype Development, Marketing and Branding, Pitch Presentation, and Launch Event.

The project culminates in a launch event where teams present their startups to classmates, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders. By engaging in this project, students will not only learn about entrepreneurship but also develop essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication. It provides a hands-on learning experience that prepares them for future endeavors in the business world.
