Shark Tank Entrepreneur Series: Digital Business & Design Projects Bundle

Give your students the complete Shark Tank Experience! This bundle includes 4 Shark Tank themed activities and projects to give your students an engaging, real-world learning experience that’s centered around entrepreneurship! 

This Bundle includes:

• Shark Tank Episode Experience Journals

• Shark Tank Project: Create a Digital Business Entrepreneurship Project

• Shark Tank Project: Design and Create a Themed Restaurant Digital Project

• Shark Tank Project: Design a New Theme Park Digital Activity

This Bundle is designed to be completed in order, but can be modified to fit your scheduling or students’ needs. Each project included in this bundle focuses on specific entrepreneurial skills, each stretching students’ imaginations and applying the four C’s of Entrepreneurial Design:

1. Creativity
2. Collaboration
3. Critical Thinking
4. Communication 

In the Shark Tank Episode Experience Journals, students learn basic business and investing vocabulary as they watch an episode of Shark Tank. Journals can be printed as convenient worksheets and completed while watching. Not only will students gain a better understanding of business vocabulary, but will learn the basic math formulas needed to determine a business evaluation, networth, percentage of ownership, etc.

After experiencing an episode of Shark Tank on a more personal level, students will then experience creating and structuring a business of their own in the Shark Tank Project: Create a Digital Business Entrepreneurship Project. In this project, students dive head first into becoming an entrepreneur as they brainstorm, collaborate, design and create a product or service based business of their own! Students learn to create a simple business plan, a business logo, website, marketing pitch and more! Many teachers, including myself, set up a panel of their very own Sharks to give their students the ultimate Shark Tank experience!

Now that students have gained a whole new understanding, appreciation and excitement for entrepreneurship, it’s time to take it to the next level as they apply everything they’ve learned to Design and Create a Themed Restaurant…the hottest new restaurant in town! Students learn to use more digital tools to create a digital floor plan, a digital menu and digital storyboard to pitch their idea and concept to a new panel of Sharks and find out who’s restaurant they’re going to invest in!

In the final project of the Shark Tank Entrepreneur series, students once again stretch their entrepreneurial muscles in a new way as they Design a Concept for a New Theme Park. Students experience the design thinking process and learn firsthand from Disney Imagineers as they create a storyboard, brainstorm, create concepts and visualizations for their ideas. Students get to watch videos of design teams in action, as they execute each step of the design process, from conception to their final pitch.

Experience what other teachers are saying about these projects as being perfect for digital design, business, marketing, student entrepreneurship, business technology, and many other design thinking courses!
