DATA CHALLENGE

In this challenge, students respond to a simple survey asking them basic background information, such as their number of siblings and favorite dessert. This exercise introduces students to the concept of data and its many forms. Students then watch a ‘Shark Tank’ video that introduces them to the idea of marketing and entrepreneurship. 

Students study how to use data to make an effective sales pitch for a product, and they make their own sales pitches based on the class survey data. Students are asked to develop a sign or logo for their food stand to be incorporated as visual media into their presentation.
