SDC GCE Portfolio

Every business must start somewhere. In my STEAM course, Entrepreneurship, we have been discussing the details of what goes into creating a business. We used our resources from pasts units to create a business plan of our own. For the purpose of this action project I created a store that gives back to the homeless. The amount of homeless people in the city of Chicago is a lot. In order to help this issue, I created a store that after every five items bought, one item will be giving back to a local homeless shelter in Chicago.

What is your mission in life? It seems like this is a frequently asked question from adults. In my Humanities course, Endurance, we have been looking into other people's challenges and their journey throughout. Whether it was by choice or forced everyone has endured some kind of challenge. For this action project we were asked to come up with a mission that we would work on for 12 hours. For my project I chose to recreate and design jeans. I enjoy helping others and I thought this could be a good way of doing so. After completing the project, I realized this is not a passion of mine. It is likely I will do this again, but not as a consistent thing in my future. 

Have you ever thought about what actually goes into becoming an entrepreneur? Or how you can start your own business? Throughout my STEAM course, Entrepreneurship, we have been discussing what makes a business successful and how some businesses can improve in becoming more transparent with their consumers. For this Action Project we had to choose a topic to teach to the class with a partner. For our presentation we focused on marketing; the action or business of promoting and selling products or services including market research and advertising. In our lesson, we focused on making the slideshow more interactive by adding images and asking the other students what they thought about the advertisement and whether it'd get there attention to buy the product/service or not. Below is an image of me and MDS, teaching the class about the research we did on marketing. SDC, Marketing Lesson, (2019) Preparing for the presentation didn't take a long time for my partner and I.
