Required Books and/or Materials:
The curriculum is free. Each club member will have handouts that they will need to print and have available for the club meeting. Some of the meetings will involve prototyping products, so I’ll provide a list of items that will be needed a week before the club meeting. It should be relatively inexpensive items that you would have around the house.
Optional Books and/or Materials:
There will be optional book assignments each month that focus in on a particular aspect of running a business. Book List to be determined.
Each club member will also have the option of completing assignments that will help them create a business right now.
