My Project

My Students

My 7th-grade students are creative, hardworking, and eager to learn through hands-on experiences.

They thrive when given opportunities to apply their skills in real-world scenarios, and this project will challenge them to think critically, collaborate, and bring their ideas to life.

My Project

In this project, students will work in teams to create their own food truck business from the ground up. They will:

Develop a business plan, including budgeting and pricing.

Design a logo and branding for their truck.

Create a menu with detailed descriptions and pricing strategies.

Construct a model of their food truck to showcase their vision.

To make this project successful, we need supplies to build and decorate the food truck models. These hands-on materials will allow students to express their creativity and bring their business ideas to life.

The Impact

This project blends entrepreneurship, math, art, and teamwork, giving students real-world experience in business planning and design. It fosters problem-solving, communication, and financial literacy—critical skills for their future success.

What We Need

To construct and decorate our food truck models, we need:

Paints, markers, and adhesives

Your Support

Your donation will directly impact our students by providing them with the materials they need to bring their ideas to life. With your help, these young entrepreneurs will gain confidence, creativity, and a deeper understanding of business concepts.

Thank you for making this hands-on learning experience possible!
