Clutched in the hand of nearly every teen is a smartphone, buzzing and beeping and blinking with social media notifications.

Farmer's Market Wrap Up
January was a time to wrap up the Farmer's Market project. Students wrote thank you cards to their investors and shared their entrepreneur experience using Google Slides with the class and their Shark Tank investors. Students answered the following questions on their Google Slides:
What made your project a success?
What obstacles did your group face?
What would you do differently if you repeated this project?
What did you learn about entrepreneurship?
What did you enjoy about this project?
Students also created a mission statement to sum up their project experience and provided an expense report to share profits, expenditures, etc.
