Program Topics & Content

We know incentives matter. Here are just a few of the benefits you can gain by participating in Entrepreneurship: Economics of Innovation.

FTE’s newest teacher program, Entrepreneurship: Economics of Innovation, provides educators with valuable resources to teach the increasingly popular topic of entrepreneurship. By focusing on key economic principles, the unit helps teachers create engaging and interactive lessons that explore the risks and rewards of starting a business.

In this three-day residential program, teachers will take a closer look at some of the topics that future entrepreneurs should learn. A wide variety of issues, such as supply chain considerations, AI, international trade, and business plan creation, will be integrated with economics principles. Hands-on activities will provide teachers with ready-to-implement ideas that blend creativity, critical thinking, and real-world application.

This curriculum is ideal for teachers of entrepreneurship, economics, and general business classes.
