The Game
The Game is an entrepreneurship and new venture management activity that brings math and business into the Teaching Kitchen.
Students create their own companies, decide on what products to produce (all healthy food items which they make in our kitchen), market their products and finally sell them generating a profit or loss. They learn the basic elements of business while exploring healthy foods, ingredients and nutritional content.
Each team of 3-4 students receive capital of $75 to purchase raw materials, advertising supplies and media time. At the end of this semester-long project, each team creates an Income Statement and prizes are awarded to winning groups who earn the most profit.
