March Madness Bonanza

Help me give my students a real-world experience being entrepreneurs using March Madness carnival games such as cup pong, egg race, and tennis ball toss with mini basketball stress balls, mini bubble wands, and plush animals as prizes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. West's classroom raised $410

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The use of vocabulary and practical application allows my students to obtain essential skills such as being an entrepreneur, organizational management, and marketing. Students have been planning ways to create an event to build their entrepreneur mindset. I love the ideas they proffered eventually leading to March Madness.

The use of the March Madness Bonanza project during a school-wide event offers business students an opportunity to take content information by applying it to real-world practice of entrepreneurship.

By donating to the March Madness Bonanza project, you will support my student’s vision of being an entrepreneur while engaging beyond academic learning. Organizing a game booth using materials such as the cups and ping pong balls for the game Cup Pong, wooden eggs and spoons for the Egg Race, and 5 gallon buckets with tennis balls for Tennis Ball Toss creates friendly competitions to earn prizes.
