Student groups conduct research using target markets to identify community needs, interests, and resources to improve the main street downtown area.  Groups generate a business proposal to present to a “mock” city council who is offering revitalization grants for businesses willing to invest in their downtown to help attract more foot traffic to the area. 

View

Students design games that will assist others in identifying careers, the education required for these careers, and the salary expected with each career.

View

Students work in teams to develop a unique retail food product that includes ingredients (51%) that have been sourced in Utah to create a new “Utah’s Own” company. The resulting food product will be sold in retail outlets and/or be served in the school cafeteria.

View

Students discover the science behind how a drone works, explore how drones are used in agriculture, and program and operate a drone for the purpose of monitoring grazing sheep.

View

Students work in pairs or small groups using the engineering design process to research, design, and create a toy or web-based game/app that teaches age-appropriate skills or factual information for either individual small groups of young children in addition to providing age-appropriate play.

View

Students develop a recipe for an energy bar that is healthy, made from easy-to-find ingredients, simple to prepare, and tastes good. They will then design the marketing and branding of this new energy bar and present their finished product and marketing strategy to a group.

View

Students conduct surveys with their peers at school about healthy food products they think will be marketable for school concessions. Based on surveys and research, they will choose an in-demand product to test in class and then present to a guest panel as a healthy choice.

View

Students take on the role of a graphic designer to complete a poster project that meets the needs of their “client.”

View

In this simulation students work as part of a committee to identify the staffing needs of a new community health care center.

View

Students explore simple circuits and sewing techniques while designing and making a custom “smart” stuffed animal.

View

In this simulation, students conduct market research, start a business, and present an entrepreneurship plan to a team of adults from the community who will pose as sharks. The simulation is designed to emulate an episode of the TV show "Shark Tank."

View

Students solve the problem of excess beeswax, a byproduct of honey bees, by developing a useful beeswax product and marketing their product to be sold in a local boutique or farmers market. 

View

Students develop a business plan incorporating a chosen product or service. The product or service must be feasible given the students situation, environment, and skillset.

View

Students research the career of teaching, determine a solution for retaining effective teachers, and create a presentation about their solution. They will present their solution to school administrators and/or school board members.

View

Students research cybersecurity topics and create a website, game, interactive presentation, or brochure to educate younger students about cybersecurity and how to keep themselves safe from hackers and others who may be trying to scam them.

View

Students examine fruit and vegetable farms to discover the amount of manual labor required to plant, grow, and harvest food. They research the business economics of farm management, the plant life cycle, and the requirements and challenges faced in reducing manual labor through mechanization or robotics.

View

Students work in groups to create a flavorful and nutritious meal for astronauts to eat in space. They experience careers in food and nutrition, food science, and marketing, research different ways to preserve foods, and discover how food is taken to and eaten in space. 

View

Students conduct research and create three different types of advertisements for a Utah vacation spot to be used to promote tourism in Utah to people who already live and work in Utah.

View

Students use the engineering design process to develop a first aid device to stabilize and alleviate pain or further injury from broken limb or sprain in the backcountry until a medical professional can be reached. Students will investigate, develop, and use composite materials within the design process.

View

Students study, collect, write, and tell stories about Utah in digital formats.

View

Students design and create a smart watering system for a small herb garden.

View

Students work to develop a system of filtering water when faced with a natural disaster or a boil order in their own home.
