Visit 1

     
      Checking in after a highly successful visit working with the 6th graders in Mr. Cobos' class in El Sol.  Today, we made our first visit to El Sol Academy in Santa Ana. We taught entrepreneurship through a rotation of 6 activities, each designed to be relavent to a different aspect of entrepreneurship: negotiation, product design, product improvement, investment, and sales pitches.  At the end of the visit, we recieved feedback from the students in the form of anonymous surveys.  We're pleased with the results, and look forward to incorporating the constructive feedback from the surveys into our lessons in the future. Overall, we consider the visit highly successful, and we're excited as to what we can accomplish in the future.

Pre-Visit

     We've just finished cheking in with our Service Learning advisors, and we're excited to begin the day.  Today, we will perform our first visit to El Sol Academy in Santa Ana.  We will be working with the 24 6th grade accelerated students in Mr. Cobos' classroom, and will be guiding them through activities related to entrepreneurship and business.  We aim to teach our students not only the basics of what it means to be an entrepreneur, but also teach them to think about how to apply their passions and combine them with these skills to impact their community.
