Kickstart a Kickstarter
Time is money! People want to invest in quality products for the future and people want to earn a lot from their innovative ideas.
Kickstarter is a website that allows people to crowd fund their ideas to achieve their dreams.
Your task is to look at the Kickstarter website and choose a product you believe in. You will present it to the class in your own words. You must choose an invention that has NOT been successful yet. You will know this by how much money it has raised.
**After your presentation the winning group can show the Kickstarter video that goes along with their product.
Every pair will have $5,000 to invest in as many products as you want. You will decide where the money goes - you can give one product $100 or one product $2000. You decide who has the best product and the best presentation. ***You are not allowed to take bribes! You must sign your checks with your name and your partner's name and the correct amount.
At the end of class we will tally all the investments and see who gets the most funding! Be sure to share talking time and use some vocabulary!
