Book Knowledge to Real-World Application

Help me give my students a Cricut Explore machine and other tools to give them an opportunity to bring real-world marketing, sales, and business skills into the classroom.

My Students

I teach 100+ business-minded, high school students who are eager to do hands-on projects that will teach them more about business, marketing, and sales. They are multitalented individuals with a thirst for real-world experiences that can be brought into the classroom as learning aids. My students are always looking for more ways to increase their learning opportunities, with interests in starting businesses or seeking higher education in marketing, business, or entrepreneurship.

My Project

Most of my students in Marketing, Sales, and Principles of Business are interested in pursuing careers in these areas or owning their own businesses. The supplies on my list will give them a chance to apply the course content with a real-world, hands-on approach to the 4 Ps of marketing (product, price, promotion, and place). My Honors Marketing students will do the brunt of the work in planning and designing the product (t-shirts), determining who their target market is, and brainstorming ways to reach their market.

With these supplies, my students will get a chance to experience what it takes to plan, create, and sell a product, touching on many aspects of marketing, sales, and business.

Each class will be responsible for a portion of the project, corresponding to their course content. Communication, organizational skills, and teamwork will be key components in this project, as well as in real life. All proceeds will be donated to our school's DECA organization to help fund the member's opportunities to compete in Regional, State, and National competitions. So, please help my students create, market, sell and donate.
