What You'll Learn
Name the four things every business needs to work: a product, customers, a price, and starting money
Understand the difference between what you spend (cost) and what you earn (revenue)
Explain what profit is and how to calculate it using real numbers
Plan and prepare a product — make a shopping list, estimate costs, and test quality
Set a price that covers your costs and leaves something left over
Design a sign that attracts customers from a distance
Serve real customers, handle money, and give change confidently
Write a Business Report explaining what happened, the numbers, and what you would do differently
What You Will Build
Across six modules, learners plan and run an actual lemonade stand — or the closest simulation their setting allows. They make real decisions about ingredients and costs, design a sign, set a price with real reasoning behind it, serve customers, and count their earnings. The course ends with a complete Business Report covering all five stages: planning, making, trading, the numbers, and the improvement plan. Learners leave with real money they earned themselves.
Why This Course
The lemonade stand is the most famous first business in the world — and for good reason. In the space of one afternoon it teaches almost everything an MBA student pays thousands to learn: product development, cost management, pricing strategy, customer service, problem-solving under pressure, and financial accounting. At 6–9, learners do not need theory. They need to feel what it is like to earn something through their own effort. This course gives them exactly that experience — and then helps them understand what just happened.
