Lemon University
Williston, ND—The Williston Area Chamber of Commerce (WACC) is excited to welcome back Lemon University, an immersive experience where students K-12 learn skills to market and run their own businesses.
Comprised of three learning sessions leading up to the junior market, students will have the opportunity to think outside the box and put their own twist on the traditional lemonade stand. The first session Business + Banking will have the young entrepreneurs identify their business venture, work on counting change, and develop a business plan.
From there, students can attend the Marketing + Communications class where they will learn to craft a logo, demonstrate their elevator pitch, and learn how to market themselves and their business.
The final session, Build Your Storefront, offers instruction on skills they’ll need to stand out at a vendor show and build their storefronts.
Finally, young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to showcase their new business savvy at Lemonade Day Junior Market on May 17, where the community can shop all the stands and compete for one of five awards: Best Stand, Best Pitch(er), Best Tasting Food, Best Tasting Beverage, Best Entrepreneur, and Community Favorite.
