Building a business model starts with understanding how all the pieces connect. AP Business Scholars at JJHS began by highlighting key information in a case study and examining how customers, products and markets connect within an existing business. They will use these insights as they develop their own Business Model Canvas throughout this new course, offered at only a few high schools.

Teamwork was the key to cracking the code! 🔐 JJHS 10th grade English students got to know the library through an orientation scavenger hunt that took them through its physical and virtual resources. Working together, students tracked down books, explored library resources, and put their research and problem-solving skills to work. Each challenge provided a clue toward a final code needed to unlock a lockbox.
