Course description

This is year one of the Business Operations pathway where students learn to use MS Office, Google Workspace, internet research skills, business planning, travel planning, cash handling procedures, and other business operations skills. WE do this through simulations for marketing of a product as well for the capstone activity. This was formerly title Digital Future and before that Cool Stuff Technology. It is a beginner course in business that allows 9th graders, but is mainly aimed at 10th graders due to the funding model of CTE. This is the SUSD planning guide description in the planning guide to entice students to begin their business operations pathway: "Learn the FUN-damentals of business through real-world hands-on projects. Want to figure out what you are good at doing or might like doing for a living? Learn how to use technology while exploring careers! Make fun videos and design cool graphics in a business simulation. Use a social media simulator to grow a business. Have a problem you want to solve in your world? Learn leadership skills while attending fun club activities as a member of Future Business Leaders of America."
