My Project

Our CTE Entrepreneurship class empowers students with real-world business skills by hosting trade shows and community events. To help students learn how to attract and engage customers, we are seeking a Hoops Indoor Basketball Arcade Game, Cornhole set, and Prize Wheel Spinner.

These interactive sports & exercise equipment games will serve as major attractions at our student-run booths, drawing crowds and creating a vibrant atmosphere—mirroring real business and marketing environments.

Students will gain hands-on practice in customer service, event management, and promotional strategies. By operating these games, they will develop essential skills for attracting and retaining customers, running contests, and building memorable brand experiences.

How the Items Will Be Used:

Hoops Indoor Basketball Equipment: Draws crowds and energizes our events with friendly competition.

Cornhole: Attracts and engages guests with its classic, easy-to-play style.

Prize Wheel Spinner: Helps students run contests and collect customer info, teaching marketing skills.

These resources do more than entertain—they build teamwork, leadership, and well-being. Students collaborate to set up and manage games, improving communication and trust. Problem-solving and leading activities develops critical thinking and confidence. Interactive play boosts enjoyment, reduces stress, and creates a positive environment, while multiplayer games foster emotional regulation and a sense of belonging.

By adding these sports and exercise items to our trade shows, students will:

Learn marketing and customer engagement skills by attracting and retaining participants.

Gain hands-on entrepreneurship experience through event planning and game management.

Strengthen teamwork, leadership, and communication as they collaborate.

Build confidence and resilience through real-world challenges.

Support mental health by fostering a fun, inclusive environment.

Create a memorable brand experience showcasing our CTE Entrepreneurship program.

Your support will provide our students with the tools they need to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life, build essential life skills, while promoting a positive, healthy active community.
