In the Brownie
Budding Entrepreneur Badge Workshop, girls will use the
Engineering Design Process to complete the badge requirements by listening to a
female entrepreneur's story and the story of another famous entrepreneur who
changed how we live. Girls will create a new themed restaurant business
with unique products and services, design prototypes, and test those
prototypes. As Engineers do, girls will share their ideas to get feedback
and make improvements on their business model and products. Then
girls will pitch their business to the group. ....And the crowd goes
wild!
