Entrepreneurial Skills Challenges 

Presentation Skills Project

Great entrepreneurs communicate at a high level & must be ready to pitch their business at a moment's notice. This project aims to teach students how to do just that. Students select a topic of their choice, relate it to business, and then create a slideshow presentation about it. The catch? Each slide can have no more than 10 words and they most present on the topic in front of the class for 3 minutes while utilizing professional and proper presentation skills. This project really prepares students for the rest of the pitches and presentations through out the school year!
