Lemonade Stand - Project Overview

In this project you will create your own business that sells a product.  You will be using Microsoft Excel, Google Docs, and Google Maps.

You will complete the following assignments for this project:

1. Creating a business - following your passion
2. Comparison study - who has sold this product before, and how will you do better?
3. Finding a market - where will your business be located?
4. Tracking income and expenses
5. Advertising
6. Presentation - going public

Grading your project:

• Each individual assignment will be graded on whether the directions are followed.  For most portions, this will involve the Sum key in Excel, so now would be a good idea to review your work with the Sum key in the "What's My Grade?" assignment.
• A portion of your project grade will be based on the outcome of the following:
1. Your classmates will be given a certain amount of money to spend
2. You will need to convince them in a presentation why your product is the best to buy
3. Your classmates will either choose your product or someone else's!
1. Note: if no one buys your product, the lowest you can get is a C on that portion of the project.

For reference, this is what my Business Plan looks like.
