Description
Students engage in a process that empowers them to research, develop, produce and market natural products as they hone their skills and interests to create Eco-Friendly businesses. These businesses are good for the Earth because the raw materials are of the Earth. Participants are encouraged to pay attention to market trends while also creating a space in which their ideas can thrive. They express their individual views, yet work cooperatively - developing a sense of community. Q&A, Peer-to-Peer Critiquing and Friendly Competition keep things lively!

Students Will
  • Communicate their ideas in written, oral, and visual presentations
  • Use problem-solving and critical thinking skills to develop natural products that cultivate health and wellness
  • Design a marketing campaign, trouble shooting the pros and cons
  • Discuss market trends and needs, and how to create a space for their ideas
  • Express a variety of ideas based on personal experience and direct observations
  • Describe how the free enterprise system works, including supply and demand
  • Explain how the cost of production and selling price affect profits
