Overview:

Welcome, class! Today we'll be starting our lesson by diving straight into a Shark Tank challenge. Yes, you heard it right. The famous TV show, Shark Tank, has inspired us to create our own mini-version of the show to help us understand various business concepts.

Objective:

The objective of this challenge is to encourage students to think critically about business-related topics. Students will work in teams and create a business idea, prepare a pitch, and present it in front of the 'sharks' (professor and fellow colleagues) who will provide feedback and ask questions.

Rules:

• Each team will consist of three to four students.
• Students will have 20 minutes to brainstorm and come up with a business idea.
• Each team will prepare a 5-minute pitch.
• The sharks will have 10 minutes to ask questions and provide feedback.
• Winners will be decided based on the viability of the idea and the quality of the pitch.

Learning Outcomes:

This activity allows students to:

• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Enhance their presentation skills
• Improve their ability to work in a team
• Understand the importance of market research and target audience identification

Conclusion:

Are you ready to dive into the shark tank? Remember, this is a fun activity, and even if the sharks tear your pitch apart, the whole point of it is to learn and improve. So, let's get started and see who can come up with the best business idea and pitch!
