Description
Students will brainstorm a problem, decide on solutions, brainstorm with a partner on how to approach, plan, and improve on a solution. Students will then theorize and plan their audience, costs, expenses, project revenue, and create a Shark Tank style business entrepreneurship pitch in front of the class, who rotate as inverters in the front row, to present and practice all of their Economics knowledge gained in class. Blank checks, rubric, and instructions included. Modifiable document.
