Workshops

FTE Workshops offer teachers another opportunity to gain new materials and insight into economics topics.  The shorter, more condensed format of the workshop presentations allow more flexibility for teachers to easily gain new teaching tools and ideas in a shorter timeframe.  Workshops last approximately an hour and a half, and are held via Zoom.

Entrepreneurship & Creative Destruction

February 12, 2025 | 7:00-8:30pm ET

Entrepreneurship involves what Joseph Schumpeter called “creative destruction,” the process by which old products and processes give way to new ones. It is through this evolutionary process that economies progress and grow. This workshop features an activity in which students experience creative destruction as they create classroom inventions and then change, modify, and improve others’ inventions.

Requirements

Active participation is required during all Workshops; participants are expected to keep cameras on during presentations.  Those who do not turn cameras on during sessions may be removed from the Workshop and will be ineligible for stipends.  Zoom breakout rooms are often used and attendees are expected to interact with each other to collaborate on virtual activities.  A second device (mobile, tablet, 2nd monitor) is usually helpful when accessing Workshop materials, but is not required.
