For
the Cadette Entrepreneur Badge Workshop, girls will use the
Engineering Design Process to create, design, & build an African Safari
Park tourist business; creating a business plan, logo & tagline, developing
expenses & revenue, and identifying who their customers are and their target
market. They will develop and give a presentation pitch to an “Investor
Board” and ask for seed money to “fund” their business to get it started.
