This lesson is a hands-on entrepreneurship project where students use creativity, math, and problem-solving skills to design their own small summer business with a $100 startup budget.
Over the course of the activity, students brainstorm a business idea, choose a catchy name, and identify what makes their business special. They create a startup budget, determine who their customers are, and plan how to advertise. Using simple math, they set prices, calculate costs, and determine potential profits. Students also set summer earnings goals, create a work schedule, and learn important safety guidelines for running a business.
By the end, each student completes a personalized business plan worksheet and can present their idea to others. This lesson builds financial literacy, goal setting, marketing skills, and safety awareness, empowering students to see themselves as capable young entrepreneurs who can turn ideas into real opportunities.
