What do lava lamps, chocolate, and key chains all have in common? You could find all of these hand-crafted products (and much more!) at the 2019 DSST: Green Valley Ranch “Elective Showcase!”
Seventh grade students celebrated the end of their school year by demonstrating their learning at this energy-filled event. Nestled between preforming music groups and art galleries, 16 student-created businesses sold products and services they have created through the YouthBiz Out of the Box program. During this 15-session curriculum, entrepreneurs created business teams, selected products, and completed financials and marketing. E-Ship teacher Nick Nist facilitated the Out of the Box curriculum for the 150 student participants.
