We have made excellent progress.
All of you would have seen the posters which are up, letting them know that our Hot Chocolate Stand will be running on Dec 15th from 3:45 - 5:00pm. Please spread the word to all the other parents as well.
Today, we worked on Operations and made a list of all the things we need.
We also worked on our logo and got that ready:
Pricing Decision made:
- 1 cup of Hot Chocolate = $2.00

Here are the tasks for this week:

Welcome
Hi Everyone
Welcome to Young Entrepreneurs!
This blog serves as a hub for everything our Young Entrepreneurs need for the program. Please bookmark this page as they need to refer to it every week.
Young Entrepreneurs is my favourite program to teach because we build businesses that the kids want. To date, Explorer Hop has launched over 500 kid bosses just like you!
How the program works:
- As a group we can decide what business we will launch. The only limitations are your skills. You have ZERO dollars to launch your business so you need to really use your imagination on how to use the resources that you have. (Welcome to the world of start ups!)
- Through the weeks we will learn about product development, marketing, finance, operations management and sales.
- The program will end with your business being launched.
- To keep things simple, all funds raised from selling your business will be donated to a charity chosen by the group.
