​Enthusiastic and curious students from one of Spokane's Public Schools participated in the entrepreneurship boot camp. In their first session, they delved into various aspects of entrepreneurship, assessed a couple of business plans, and shared innovative concepts spanning socially impactful initiatives to complex, high-risk, high-reward ventures. They embraced the notion of envisioning themselves as future entrepreneurs.  The second session focused on Business Branding and Finance activities. Here, students gained hands-on experience crafting business names, slogans, and logos while examining revenue scenarios such as losses, profitability, and breaking even. They learned strategic approaches to sourcing materials to minimize costs and maximize profits and the importance of researching innovative methods and accounting for unforeseen expenses when budgeting for business finances. By effectively communicating the benefits of their products or services through creative branding and persuasive marketing strategies, they learned ways to enhance the perceived value of the offerings. In simulated scenarios, students stepped into business owners' shoes, creating a distinct business identity through the development of names, logos, and slogans. The final session covered subjects like obtaining licenses, launching a business, maintaining ethical standards, and providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of establishing and running a genuine company.
