Sounds fine.
However in a world were there's heaps of "get rich courses" and scams. (Everyday I see atleast 3 people trying to sell "courses" on social media. )
I feel like there's potential but you'd need to gain trust and a good reputation.
You seem to have the right background and perhaps a good network to get you started, so I doubt you'd need guidance there.
Why did you want to focus on teenagers? I feel like this could be beneficial for some adults too.
Many people are looking into "passive incomes" or side hustles in this economy.
You might be able to do night or online courses that are more targeted towards adults.
I’m a parent, and I wouldn’t pay for this.
They do this stuff at school. In primary school from a fundraising perspective, and high school has elective units that focus on having an idea coming up with a product idea then selling it
Lockdown taught us that lots of kids, and certainly my kids hated learning shit over zoom.
I think if your target market is parents who value entrepreneurial skills they are likely already passing that to their kids themselves. If I think of the parents of my eldest’s friends and who most fits that profile - that kid already had a website selling product they made before they even hit high school.
>Why do this:
To steal the best ideas and expand them faster than the students possibly could.
>By the end of the 10 weeks they have an idea they've validated and (hopefully) made some sales already
This was done in my high school back in the 90s as part of the bog standard "Business Studies" course.
Have the curriculum's really been so hollowed out to chase stupid KPIs?
A lot of this stuff is already covered by HS Business Management classes. Was it not the subject you taught when you were a teacher? I teach BusMan (both in Oz and now international) and the only thing that's slightly different to the curriculum that you're proposing is getting students to essentially focus on a single project of their own. However there are also schools that do that in Year 10 (including the school I attended as a student).
I don't think a child or a 13 year old would be interested in something like this, you would probably end up with a lot of students uninterested in the subject, mentally elsewhere during the zoom just because their parents forced them to attend, and the parents wanting a refund or cancellation. A 16 year old who just started their first job at Macca's and realizes the importance of a better future might be more within your ideal target. Overall it seems a bit of a niche idea, I'd be surprised if you get more than 2 or 3 full classes per year.
Meta Ads can be really expensive and the bidding will be brutal as you'll be bidding against a lot of online training courses. You sure the $40 per session is adquate?
This has been done before. I did a course like this in the 1970s as an after school extra curricular activity. We set up a business and local businesses provided mentors. It was free. We got Cronulla Sharks candles made (with proper branding). It was part of some sort of contest against other schools.
I also did pretty much the same in the UK in the 1980s. I think it was called Young Enterprise. We set up a company sold shares, took on different roles, made peoduct, and then paid dividends.

I'd suggest financial literacy for teens would be a bigger gap

What qualifies you to run such a business if you need to ask for advice on Reddit?
Putting an "influencer entrepreneur" spin on it would probably help with marketing.

Sounds fine to me, I done have a teenager but would be interested if he/she was.

All my 13 yo nephew talks about is getting rich via some half baked idea he saw on tick Tok , that and fortnite.

Thank you! I now remember that our scheme was called Young Achievers.
