Entrepreneurship & Business Management Class Becomes Their Favorite Entrepreneurs

Learning about their favorite entrepreneurs, Oakwood High School students researched their chosen innovators and interviewed local leaders to learn more about leadership in real-life business careers. Last month, students dressed up as their entrepreneurs for a business meet-and-greet, sharing what they learned with Oakwood faculty and upper school students.

After the meet-and-greet concluded and connections were made, students gave short one-on-one oral reports to classmates, explaining their entrepreneur’s journey and the leadership qualities that helped them succeed.

Through this project, students explored entrepreneurship by stepping into the shoes of real innovators. Strengthening their public speaking and research skills, they learned what it takes to build and lead a successful business—and the meet-and-greet gave them the opportunity to share their knowledge with the upper school. With Hawk’s Nest coming soon, the class is one step closer to becoming the next generation of entrepreneurs.
