Celebrating 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
My middle schoolers are a vibrant, energetic bunch, filled with curiosity and potential. They inspire me with their resilience, creativity, and collaborative spirit. They're eager to learn real-world skills and grow into independent thinkers.
This popcorn machine project isn't just about snacks; it's about empowering them.
By running a mini-business, they'll learn vital entrepreneurial skills: budgeting, marketing, sales, and customer service. They'll grasp financial literacy, understanding profit margins and money management. Teamwork and communication will flourish as they collaborate to make it a success.
My goals are to:
* Develop student entrepreneurial confidence.
* Provide hands-on, real-world learning.
* Foster school spirit and community.
* Raise funds for clubs and activities.
* Increase financial literacy.
This project matters because it invests in their future. It gives them tools to succeed, to become problem-solvers and leaders. It's about more than popcorn; it's about popping their potential.
