ECO Academy: ECO-nomics + ECO-ology

Each summer we create a brand-new, sustainable pop-up business! Handle all the real-world aspects of this camp’s pop-up business: finance, sales, marketing & production. Learn about the environmental effects of your product. How can we lessen those? What are low-impact ways to create a high-impact product? Examine cash flow and stock distributions (and play the Stock Market Game!). What will your sustainable business model look like? Create a website to advertise and sell your product. Find environmentally friendly ways to package and distribute. Look at everyday products and their carbon footprints. How can companies minimize this? Scientific inquiry, advertising art, decision-making skills, financial and mathematical interests—bring any and all of these talents! No camp on June 19.
