Students work in teams to develop a business concept, conduct market research and/or a competitive analysis, create a realistic financial plan, and pitch their businesses to an audience. As students create and plan for a business, they learn key mathematical skills involving operations, grouping, and decimals and develop competence in areas of technology, communication, and collaboration.
