The Smoothie Bar
Skills for learning, life and the world of work
Ideal for Years: 7-9
Enter the dynamic realm of entrepreneurship with The Smoothie Bar, a jam-packed program designed to ignite essential skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. Through this hands-on, immersive one (or two-day) experience, students delve into the process of creating and marketing their own smoothie brand, all while exploring the fundamentals of business.
Working in teams, students begin by conducting market research to gain insights into consumer preferences. Armed with this knowledge, they then set out to design and develop their own unique smoothie recipes, balancing flavour, nutrition, cost, and profit.
As their smoothies take form, students shift their focus to marketing, exploring strategies to promote their products and engage their target audience. Leveraging their digital and financial literacy skills, they craft persuasive marketing materials for the grand finale... their ‘Shark Tank-style pitch,’ where teams showcase their products and marketing strategies to a panel of ‘Sharks’ (you, the teachers)!
