Introduction to Business
Our Introduction to Business course is tailored to teach business and entrepreneurship fundamentals to students in grades 1-5. Using age-appropriate activities, games, and simulations, students will delve into the thrilling world of business
Our presentations are designed to capture even the shortest attention spans, ensuring a truly engaging experience. Our fun, interactive curriculum fosters active listening and participation. Through captivating PowerPoints and lively discussions, we introduce children to the fundamentals of idea generation, economics, branding, and financial literacy.
Following the Introduction to Business course, children will receive specialized instruction in one of two industries—Food or Creative. These industries are designed to provide kids with knowledge and exposure to business experiences that align more closely with their individual talents and interests.
Interactive events and workshops provide opportunities for children to apply their entrepreneurial skills in real-world settings, such as Baby Shark Tank and the Cardboard Food Truck Festival.
Children connect with local small business owners for one-on-one mentoring and group activities. They gain valuable knowledge, experience, and insights directly from successful entrepreneurs.
Field trips, guest speakers, and virtual tours immerse children in the world of larger businesses and industries, providing firsthand exposure to the broader economic landscape.
Being an entrepreneur means having to learn, focus, and connect to people and these are all traits that are valuable throughout life. Learning this when you are young is especially crucial, and will set you up for success and to be more open to other opportunities,

Thus, a learning environment that provides immersive entrepreneurial experiences and studies would leave permanent imprints of independence, hard work, responsibility and money management skill-set (a good recipe for progression toward financial independence) – even if not all the children grow up to be entrepreneurs.
