8th Grade Virtual Market Place
Every year, every grade at Aspen Academy creates a business together as a class. Through their years at Aspen Academy students gain skills in entreprenuership and leadership as they work together to create, plan, and sell a product.
Once students are in 8th grade, each individual student creates their own business where they come up with an idea, create a product, a business plan, and then a go-to market strategy.
Below you will find business names, video pitches and websites that our 8th graders have created over the years.
