We need to find a way to do this project twice. By the end of the first round, kids are just now learning a bunch of valuable lessons about how to work as a team, who to work with (and not work with), how to organize their time, and how to market. If we did this a second time, they would have a chance to apply all of this right away and do better.
Perhaps for next year: plan to do 2 $200 projects during Q2 and shift the storefront project to Q3.
So:
Q1: entrepreneurship bootcamp
Q2: creating a business [include public speaking and require students to pitch to investors--must convince investors to allow them to use their money for specific business]
Q3: storefront project
[but what about non-profits/social entrepreneurship??? We need to have space for this]
Perhaps:
Q1: boot camp + $200 project #1
Q2: $200 project #2 + social entrepreneurship/non-profit work
Q3: Senior projects and start storefront (?)
Q4: finish all work
