One of our students stated, "My favorite female entrepreneur is Susan Wojcicki. Without her, millions of creators would not have been able to make a career from Youtube." - Fatima Kamal.

January 20th, 2024 - In this meeting, we delved deeper into our E-Commerce post and hosted an insightful session that connected e-commerce with the importance of making responsible financial decisions. We discussed how the increasing use and convenience of e-commerce could lead to overconsumption and overspending, which can create many financial and potential environmental problems depending on which products or companies one is buying from. We ended the meeting by playing the game Spent , to challenge our students on making difficult financial decisions that many individuals and families face. With some of our students' permission, we included their game results in this post.

February 18th, 2024 - In this meeting, we taught a lesson on social entrepreneurship. We started with a "What would you do" activity to introduce social entrepreneurship as we wanted to emphasize that create solutions for long-term change requires effective brainstorming and decision making. After we finished our lesson and discussion, we had our students play the Uber game to encourage them to think thoroughly through the decisions the made throughout the game. Link to Insta Post.
