Spark Studio
Imagine our youngest learners designing their own individual products and pitching a slogan to sell their creations? Would their words intrigue you enough to buy their product?
Spark learners will kick Session 2 off by learning about entrepreneurship. They will explore how they can start their own business, what they can use, and what counts as a business, how selling items with friends can have a positive or negative impact, if selling or renting has any advantages, and courage to continue when there is a setback in their business. Learners will seize their opportunity as entrepreneurs at the business fair held in Session 3 as they bring everything together and put their ideas into action.

“The best way to predict the future is to create it” -Peter Ducker
If you had the tools to create a better future, how would you do it? If you had the power to shape products, services, and experiences that could change the world, what would you create? These are the questions Discovery learners will face as they embark on the journey of becoming an entrepreneur in Session 2. On this journey, learners will build their own business with fellow trailblazers using collaborative, creative, analytical, and critical thinking skills. Learners will conduct market research, learn about competition, and use mathematical skills to create a realistic financial plan. They will then create a prototype of their product and pitch their business to a panel of investors. By the end of this session, learners will have built a business that has the potential to change the world.
