Van Buren ISD

Have you ever thought about starting your own business? In this hands-on, interactive class, students will take an idea from concept to launch in just six weeks!

You’ll start by exploring your interests and identifying real problems in your community that you can solve. From there, you’ll learn how to understand your target customers, design a product or service, and build a simple business plan. Along the way, you’ll dive into money basics like pricing and profit, create your own brand (including a name and logo), and develop marketing ideas to promote your business.

By the end of the program, you’ll pitch your business idea to an audience—Shark Tank-style!—and gain valuable feedback to bring your vision to life.

This class builds real-world skills like creativity, communication, problem-solving, and financial literacy—perfect for future entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators.
