1. READ the TASK information below:

INTRODUCTION: An Entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business. Many entrepreneurs are young people with great ideas. Often these ideas would have never been successful had someone not listened to what the young entrepreneur had to offer. This is your opportunity to present your best business idea or invention.

GOAL: There is an upcoming regional competition that will be choosing young entrepreneurs to share their ideas with a group of potential investors. These investors are looking to fund a new idea for a product or service. You will need to provide a sales pitch to a panel of investors who may be interested in a business with you.

ROLE: You are a young entrepreneur who is very creative and enjoys coming up with new ideas to help people.

2. WATCH this career video & CHECK OUT helpful links below before you start.

3. CHOOSE ONE of the PROJECTS below to complete. You will need to create your final product using a Google tool (Doc, Sheets or Slides) or equivalent (Word, Excel, Canva, Prezi, Adobe Spark, WeVideo, Powerpoint, etc...) and submit to your teacher by the date required.

SALES PITCH: Your sales pitch will need to be between 2-3 minutes. This presentation should include the important parts of your invention or idea. Be sure to include an explanation of the target audience for this new product. Why will this target audience want the product and/or service? Why would they be willing to pay for it? Be prepared to defend your reasons for making your choices and also discuss the design constraints of your final product. You may want to create a model or visual to demonstrate your ideas. You may also want to consider using multimedia to support your sales pitch. Be sure that your presentation informs and persuades the audience so they want to fund your entrepreneurial idea!

BUSINESS PLAN: You will need to submit a business plan for your product or idea. The first part will be an Introduction. This section should introduce yourself, provide your background, and share your business idea and how it will benefit the target audience. The second part will be the Idea Description that explains your idea, why it is valuable, the target audience it will serve, and how you believe the product or service will help your target audience. The third part will be your Financial Plan. This should explain the costs associated with developing the product or service. First, think about how much it will cost to create one product or provide one service. The last part will be your Marketing Plan. This section should explain how your target audience will learn about your product. How will you market it? Where will it be available for purchase? Think about how to persuade your audience that your product or service is beneficial.
This will be a formal report and should have no spelling or grammar errors. It does not need to be long, but it needs to provide all of the necessary information.
This link from the U.S. Small Business Association may be helpful as you consider the many things necessary to have your idea selected and to make your idea a reality.

ELA ACTIVITY: Read one of the two articles below and submit a one page essay that details successful traits of an entrepreneur. Submit via Google Doc.

In recent weeks, COVID-19 has dramatically impacted schools, teachers, students and families around the globe. With schools experiencing closures, thousands of educators have been working tirelessly to support their students and keep them reading and learning at home.

Epic wants to help. We are offering FREE worldwide Remote Student Access to Epic through the end of the school year (June 30th, 2020), by teacher invitation - no credit card required. Families only need an invitation from their teacher to get started. Students will have anywhere, anytime access to the full Epic library on all devices (including web browsers, the iOS app and the Android app), and teachers can stay connected to their students by assigning books and collections and tracking reading activity and progress.

Sounds great! Can anyone get Remote Student Access??
Remote Student Access is only available by invitation from an educator. Individual families are not eligible for this offer if a child's teacher is not using Epic. The good news? Epic is always free to educators and educators can sign up for their free account in a matter of minutes by following the instructions below.

Educators must send each students' parent or guardian an invitation from the student roster page.

HOW TO GET STARTED
If you're already an active teacher on Epic:

2. Set up your student roster. It's easy to add your students via Google Classroom, or one by one. (See Instructions for adding students to your roster here.)

3. Invite your families from the student roster page. [ Detailed instructions here]

If you are a teacher new to Epic:
1. Open your account at https://www.getepic.com/educators . It's 100% free; all you need is a valid educator email

2. Sign in to your account

3. Set up your student roster. It's easy to add your students via Google Classroom, or one by one. (See Instructions for adding students to your roster here.)

4. Invite your families from the student roster page. [ Detailed instructions here]

What to expect after inviting student families:
1. Parents will receive an email, set up their account, and request permission to link to your classroom. You can track each student's access status and approve family linking requests on your roster page

2. You will receive an email confirmation once the family account is successfully linked

What does the Remote Student Access Experience include? Students can log on via a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer, or the Epic app on iOS or Android. The apps are free to download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Students can access the full library of over 40,000 e-books, audiobooks, learning videos, and quizzes that is available to them in class. (Materials in Spanish, French and Chinese, too!)

Educators can assign a book, or collections of books, to individual students or to the entire class. Educators can monitor their students' reading activity via their student reading logs.
Additional resources and step-by-step instructions:
Do you know any educators who may be interested? Free access to Epic through June 30th, 2020 is available for all educators and their students. Feel free to share this blog post with them, or point them directly to https://www.getepic.com/educators .

As we navigate this situation together, we know that reading and consistency for students is incredibly important. As always, we're here for our community of educators. Join the conversation on our Facebook Educator page or via Twitter @epic4kids.
