Within Spirit Box Academy, there are 3 units, 5 modules within each unit, and a growing lesson library around each module. Under each module there are lesson plans, activities, PowerPoints, worksheets, case studies, and blog posts. Within the module there are level 1 (introduction to the concepts) and level 2 (advanced students who are applying what they have learned to their Spirit Box or School Based Enterprise) lessons.
Before you make a pitch to your administration for your Spirit box, it is important to do your research and create a plan. Joining the Spirit Box community is an investment that is important to think through. It is not easy starting a business, especially in a high school environment so we have broken it down into four steps that are paired with lessons, activities, PowerPoints, and articles to help you get started.
It is time to celebrate CTE Month! CTE does so much for Spirit Box Teams and DECA.
“Career and Technical Education Month®, or CTE Month®, is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of CTE and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across the country.” (Association for Career & Technical Education)
What would it look like if you grew your Spirit Box business from one machine to multiple machines to place around the school? On top of that, what would it look like if you became the only vending machine company in the school? Knock out your competition!
All of the vending revenue goes to your Spirit Box Teams and your school.
A hands on learning experience that provides real world skills to high school students.
No contracts from other vending companies restricting what you can put in your vending machine. This will lead your business to be more successful and bring more revenue in.
Before you start a business you need to ask yourself, is my business needed or wanted? It is incredibly important to not assume that it is and do research before dedicating yourself to a business that will not succeed. There are two steps to take before diving in; complete market research and a competitive analysis.
