This course is designed to instruct students on how to develop their creative passion or hobby into a small-scale business. Students will learn the basics of creating and pricing products, marketing their business, how to sell physical products in a local market, and how to scale a business. Students will engage in weekly hands-on lessons focused on logo creation, packaging, marketing strategies, and more. Students will also practice setting up a vendor display with a course culmination of a maker’s market at Urban Garage Market.
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
