Entrepreneur Expedition (Sentinel Scholars Only)

Are you a teen with a spark of entrepreneurial spirit? Join us for an exhilarating journey into the world of business creation and innovation in our workshop, “Entrepreneur Expedition.”

Embark on a guided adventure where you’ll uncover the secrets to building not just any business, but one that aligns with your values, ignites your passions, and brings in profit. Through a series of interactive sessions, you’ll learn the fundamental principles and practical strategies needed to turn your ideas into reality.

What You’ll Explore:

• Beginning with the End in Mind: Discover the power of setting clear goals and envisioning your ultimate business success.
• Finding Mentors: Learn how to seek guidance from experienced entrepreneurs who can help navigate the path ahead.
• Idea Development with Passion: Dive deep into your interests and skills to uncover business opportunities that ignite your passion.
• Essential Tools: Understand the tools and resources needed to bring your business to life, from digital platforms to organizational systems.
• Crafting Your Brand: Explore the art of branding and how to create a unique identity that resonates with your target audience.
• Strategic Marketing: Develop a solid marketing plan, including techniques for evaluating and improving your outreach efforts.

Students can plan on spending a minimum of 3 hours per week outside of class on projects for building their business.

Students will need to bring a notebook and binder to every class. Some days, students will need to bring a laptop to class, depending on their business.

There are potential outside start-up costs to be aware of. These will be determined by the business your student chooses. Here are some examples: Food handler’s license, ingredients, Canva Pro, printing. If your teen decides to continue their business after the semester ends, you will need to help them register it (I can guide you, if you need help).
