On Thursday, May 4th, DDHS/DDTech partnered with Wisconsin Mini Business World to host an amazing opportunity for students!
MINI Business World is a one-day immersive program where students practice building a business from the ground up. Students come up with a full business plan including creating a new product, building a prototype, creating a marketing plan, and forming a budget. Students then present their new product ideas to the group. Students leave MINI Business World with a better understanding of business principles, entrepreneurship, career opportunities in Wisconsin, and the important role businesses play in our communities.
First Place was the “Automated Shoe Cleaner” by Geovanni Prado, Logan Thiele, Sarah Barajas, Shelby Smith, and Isai Gomez.
Second Place was “Luxury Kickz,” and shoe vending machine, by Cynthia Parra, Jennylee Garcia Galindo, Nadia Illichmann, Jalen Cook, and Diego Valadez.
Students in Ms. Becke’s and Ms. Scott’s Accounting, Business Concepts, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Sports & Event Marketing classes participated.
