One of the final projects in my economics class is based of the show "Shark Tank." The premise of the show is for entrepreneurs to get investments from the "Sharks" by giving a good sales pitch and participating in a Q and A. My students will be working in cooperative learning groups over the course of the semester. They will be collaborating in many ways, both inside and outside of the classroom. They will need supplies such as color markers, pens, scissors, and glue to use throughout the project. They really need large display boards for the economics fair to display their factors of production, demand surveys, input costs, and products. They will use these items to create a product together, conduct market research, create and advertising strategy, and create a sales pitch for our classroom "Sharks" (who will be played by the students from other groups).
