These materials will help my students be able to develop an enterprise and skills they will use for a life time. My students come from an under privileged background where their friends and other family members have given up on life or turned to an alternative way of making a living that is not suitable for most. Knowing this I want to give my students the knowledge base and skills to be able to potentially create a business of their own following High School. My students will learn how to manage and operate a balloon business including: creating columns, arches, centerpieces, and balloon gifts. As well as operating a custom designed T-shirt business. Additional skills they will take will include: budgeting, 21st century online skills through an online business center (like etsy), and money managing skills. We will use our profit money on trips like: special olympics and taking the students to other small businesses around to help them learn about entrepreneurship in the 21st century.
