My Project

Students in high school need to have exposure to opportunities or create their own opportunity with the right tools to actively manage, plan, and dream out loud! This entrepeneurial endeavor is to invigorate the students capabilities, talents, and skills to work together to promote a business and to run one with their own energy, ideas, and collaboration to meet a collective goal and reward.

By utilizing service trays, catering pans, measuring cups, bowls, mixing tools, and serving utensils, cambros to transport food and goods, and the kitchen essentials will help to showcase to students that they have all the equipment and items needed to be successful to create, and mobilize as a working business whatever their dream is to create in the culinary department that they can do so without any hindering worries of cost and/or materials.

Our students will be the leaders they wish to see in their own community by executing, planning, and promoting their own ideas in a small business mindset to build off their own vision and future endeavors.

Our objective is to show these students that they have everything they need, all we have to do is execute the ideas and do so with everyones input and collaboration to be partners and collaborators to reach the goal and execute the dream.
