media type="youtube" key="yfkO-PV8G1I" width="580" height="434"

Teaching the importance of small-business ownership to students through class projects gives students hands-on experience in starting and running a business. Projects can teach students the fundamentals of small-business ownership while teaching them how to write a business plan, how to hire staff, how to market a business and how to create a budget and financial statements.

We are here to give our students the best possible real life work experience allow students to learn about the day-to-day functions of entrepreneurs and small business owners, how to start a business, design it and learn from multiple failures and successes of running their own virtual small business. Most successful entrepreneurs start early, it's helpful to talk to them about what it's like to own a business and even better to start business and teach them skills that will be useful to them.

The students should be able to study the market to decide its needs, come up with a business plan for a profit or a nonprofit project, advertise for their product through various media and assess the revenue or losses assisted by the modern technology as a facilitator. <span style="color: #800000; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"> Through the unit students will be able to incorporate their computer knowledge, English writing and presentation skills, necessary mathematical concepts.This unit is designed for grade eight.
