Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 100

Thanks to the grant, our entrepreneurial class benefited from the additional materials that they were able to have access to through this entire process. I was able to witness the impact it had on my students.  My student’s creativity was not hindered, and they were able to hit the ground running.  By subsidizing the class, the grant has significantly reduced financial barriers, making it accessible to a wider range of students from diverse backgrounds. As a result, we've seen increased participation and engagement. The grant has enabled us to enhance the curriculum with real-world experiences, and hands-on activities such as prototype development and team building activities. Through these enriching opportunities, students have gained invaluable practical skills in business planning, marketing strategies, financial management, and problem-solving. Overall, the impact of the grant on our entrepreneurial class has been profound, empowering students to turn their innovative ideas into products.  We would not have had as much success as we did without your support.
