 Fifth graders at La Porte Public School are all about their business. They spend the day learning what it takes to be an entrepreneur. In its first year, the Entrepreneur for a Day program is intended to teach fifth graders about economics and how to run a business. The program was pulled together by David Collins with the Hubbard County Regional Economic Development Commission. Students heard from business owners and entrepreneurs and worked on their business skills. Entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, the value of money, creating a product, how to market that product and get it out in the environment, and how to work as a team. So it's a very cool program and it's just fun to see these kids very involved and engaged in it. For the second part of the program, students actually created their own products.
