Cadette / Senior / Ambassador Business Badges Workshop 

Cadette Entrepreneur Badge: In small groups, 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 are their customers.  They will then develop and give a presentation pitch to an “Investor Board” and asking for seed money to “fund” their business to get it started.  Our own personal Shark Tank experience!

Senior Social Innovator Badge: In small groups, girls will use the Engineering Design Process to choose one social issue that the African Safari Park tourist business could help or solve.  Around their social issue, they will deduct where technology impacts it, what other cultures can teach us around it, and identify what the obstacles are for people dealing with it every day.  They will create a business plan, fully identify their social innovation concept, create a prototype to “sell” their concept and give a presentation pitch to the Cadette businesses to persuade them to adopt their social issue into their business plan and thusly change the world.

Ambassador Research & Development: In small groups, girls will use the Engineering Design Process to analyze the African Safari Park tourist business from a 1-point revenue.  They will brainstorm & identify other revenue streams and research how tourist businesses R & D new services & products.  Taking what they have learned, they will interview the “investor board” to identify which services & products they personally most value and why.  They will develop a prototypes to represent their revenue streams and give a presentation pitch to the Cadette tourist businesses to inform them about their R & D, why they need multi-point revenue streams, and their top 3 new ways to bring in additional revenue.  Their goal is to persuade some of the Cadette businesses to adopt their new revenue stream ideas into their business plan.  

Girls are encouraged to wear their sash/vest.
