It covers design of the students own package on using software. Or if your school does not have access then sketching out a package using geometric shapes. Students then come up with a modified cookie recipe (research a basic one to modify). Then market and promote it like the Kidpreneur Mr Cory above. I have run this with 4 classes, they love it and have come up with such different cookie projects every time. It brings together all of your class, teaches them Maths, Literacy and how to talk about their ideas so there is some leadership in there too. I really look forward to you using this and letting me know how you go. Nothing makes me more happy than colourful cookies.
