21st Century Entrepreneurship

Shark Tank Competition 

21st Century Entrepreneurship is a new course in District 215 this school year.  Throughout the year the students have learned the fundamentals of running a business, writing a business plan, and implementing those components using a virtual business software tool.  Students enjoyed watching Shark Tank as they analyzed sales pitches, financials, and business strategies to gain investors.  To test their entrepreneurial prowess the Entrepreneurship Students participated in the Shark Tank Competition. 

 In a team environment, students worked together to strategize and form a business, write the business plan, prepare financial statements, and deliver the sales pitch to the volunteer business owners, who became the Shark Tank investors, in hopes of negotiating a deal. 

Thanks to the hard work of Mrs. Jennifer Donovan, TF North instructor, and Mr. Shane Mosel, TF South instructor, the event was a huge success!
