Young Entrepreneurs
Summer is coming! Are you interested in having your child enrich their academic skills in a fun, interactive, and creative way?
Students will learn to think and perform like professionals. They will engage in round-table discussions and visionary planning with like-minded peers and hone their writing, presentation, budgeting, executive functioning, and collaboration skills. By the end of this course, they will have a completed and tested business plan as well as a better understanding of themselves as workers and collaborators!
The Young Entrepreneurs enrichment course will be collaboratively taught by two educators and accommodations will be provided for students as needed. This program is limited to a maximum of 16 students in order to provide the most beneficial experience possible. (Maximum student:teacher ratio will be 8:1.)
Course materials will be pushed out via Google Classroom, but hard copies will also be offered to those without access. Personal devices are optional, though recommended. Students will need a free Gmail account in order to access digital versions of the materials. Please note that MCPS and many other school student accounts will not work, as they do not allow for the receipt of external materials.
Other suggested supplies include: calculator (other than a phone), 1/4in binder with looseleaf paper, pens/pencils
