Today, you and your team are going to solve a problem and then you are going to convince everyone why your idea is worth an investment.
Step 1 — Problem
You have 6 minutes to brainstorm a problem you might face each day. Assign one member to write down all the problems.
Step 2 — Solution
You have 15 minutes select a problem and come up with ideas of a solution to fix the problem. This is a brainstorming session so they want to list all ideas and listen to them. They can pick their favorite idea after.
Step 3 — Development
After the 15 minutes is up, you will need to decide as a group which product they will develop a sales pitch for.
Step 4 — Design
You are design the product on a poster. You are to list as many adjectives as they can to describe their product or service to help your business pitch once they have completed the design on their prototype.
Step 5 — The Pitch
Once students have finished with their posters, explain that they will be giving the class a business pitch to convince them they have the best product in the class. I suggest sharing this video of 10-year-old Jack and his lemonade stand idea as a good pitch example.
Guidelines:
Start with a question.
And then answer the following questions:
What is the problem?
What is the name of the solution you came up with?
Why is it a good product?
Who are you selling this to and the cost?
How much money do you want for this idea?
