2025 Inspiring Students to Find a Passion or Become Entrepreneurs!

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore their passions or become young entrepreneurs!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Asleson's classroom raised $798

My Project

The wide-range of project materials needed for these classes will allow students to expand their creativity, imaginations, and explore their passions or learn the principles of a young entrepreneur. For these classes, students had the opportunity to take ownership in their learning by selecting their own passion or business idea.

Students will gain a memorable hands-on learning experience with the help of your donation to these project materials.

Students have a vested interest in these project materials as they will be able create or build something that is special for them and keeps them engaged with learning. The cool thing is, that this class will provide hands-on experience and allow our students to use their imaginations. It also allows students to be creative and will teach some important life principles in exploring their passion or becoming young entrepreneurs.

The technology, innovation, and design class will provide lessons that incorporate reading, science, and math! Students will learn about different passion projects along with different types of business principles. My classes will also focus on the Habits of Mind which includes teamwork, decision-making, and using critical thinking and planning skills, which are essential life-long skills. Students will also learn about business plans, models, and the fundamentals that are key to success. These learning experiences will allow our students to explore their creativity and imagination which will leave a lasting impression on our students.

Every spring, our middle school puts on a Summer Jam for our local community to showcase the learning of our students throughout the school year. At this event, I will be showcasing my students' passion and entrepreneurial projects. With your contribution, this will be a great way to give back to our local community. Thank you for investing in my classroom and my students!
