Description

Become a business creator and learn the skills you need for success in life, no matter what future path you choose.

Cadettes learn to think like entrepreneurs by creating a prototype for a product or service that solves a local, national, or global issue. They get feedback by organizing a focus group, conducting a survey, and/or using a SWOT analysis, then they revise their prototype, research competitors, and interview industry experts. They also create a business plan that covers costs, marketing strategy, and how they'll grow the business. Then they pitch their idea to friends, family, or classmates.

1. Come up with an idea that solves a problem
