BDP3OEntrepreneurship: The Enterprising Person

Supports part of it

Launch League supports the idea, promotion and event-execution parts of the course. A school event can run as a small venture, with a real customer, a price and a promotion plan.

Relevant Launch League work

  • Generating and evaluating ideas
  • Creative thinking and problem solving
  • Promotion
  • Planning and running an event
  • Real entrepreneurs and what they did

Already teaching it your way? Keep the event project. Use Launch League where it helps: finding what attendees want, pricing tickets, promoting it, and reflecting afterwards.

What Launch League doesn't do: Most of this course is about enterprising employees and the labour market, which Launch League doesn't teach.

Course title and description from the Ontario curriculum (Grades 11 and 12 Business Studies, 2006). Launch League can support learning in this course; it doesn't deliver course expectations or grant credit, and the teacher decides what counts and how it's assessed. Expectation-level detail is in the curriculum sheet (free teacher account).

Suggested approach

How to use it with BDP3O

Suggested starting point: use with my course. You can use it any way that works for your class.

  1. Create a class

    Request teacher access and create a class at Your classes. Students join with a six-letter code.

  2. Pick only what fits your unit

    Use the Launch League work listed below that connects to what you're teaching. Skip the rest.

  3. Let students bring what they have

    A plan, a deck or a business from your class is where they start: students link it and tick what it covers. Nobody redoes work to match our format.

  4. Ask for real-world support

    Mentors, judges, a pitch workshop or a local entrepreneur — send a request.

  5. Enter, if students want to

    The provincial competition is optional and free, and every complete entry gets written feedback.

After the unit

Students can keep going

The assignment can end without the business ending. Students can validate it, sell it, launch it and compete on their own, without a teacher managing any of it.
