Students have been hard at work this semester in their Social Entrepreneurship class, a partnership with CEOs of Tomorrow, Inc.s, Badger Rock Middle School and Rooted at Badger Rock Neighborhood Center! When you purchase products made by Badger Rock Middle School students, you are supporting our youth as they take their first step into entrepreneurship!

Students have used what they learned in their class first semester to create their products from scratch this semester! They have done everything from dreaming up their product, naming their business, creating logos, calculating expenses and profit, making and taste testing recipes, starting plants from seed and so much more!
