Entrepreneurship & GSuite Apps:

Join me as I share how our students are immersed in various Global Competencies as they explore through design thinking, inquiry and reflecting on their learning. The Entrepreneurial Venture takes students on a journey where many of the choices decided upon, are made by the students! Students enjoy collaborating in real-time on various Google Apps to create a start-up business that is showcased in their Google Site promoting how they will make a difference within the local and global community. Our young entrepreneurs realize that their actions will impact students within the community by building awareness on various issues, while raising funds towards for a local charity.
