You have to make sure that you're buying the right amount of product, all of those types of things.

And those students ended up making profit of over $5,000 serving various clients and going out and getting business.

And one of their biggest days that they had was they went to a car dealership that they had cold called.

to say, hey, can we be your food provider at an event that you're hosting?

And they had to serve over 100 customers in one day.

And that's a lot going on there.

And I will tell you, the other thing that happens is these kids are working on this interesting business.

They're starting to calculate their profits and figure out what their expenses are.

And they start realizing, you know what?

Now I kind of understand why math is important to know, right?

I'm using the math skills that I get, which kind of takes us back to what I said when I was that person raising my hand to the teacher saying, why do I need to know this?

You know, and I think that's one of the things that's missing so much in schools, and it has been, that we're really trying to bring in into it.

And then additionally from that, when you think about, again, this new world that we're living in where artificial intelligence is making so many changes, we also spend time helping our kids learn how to use these artificial intelligence tools, not to cheat,

but instead to give them superpowers to do big things.

And that's something that is so important for us to be able to learn.

I think in this world, it's no longer just about the three R's of read and write and arithmetic.

It is now about the four C's.

It's critical thinking and communication and creativity and being able to collaborate with each other.

Those are the kind of skills that we really need young people to develop.

Yeah, I think it's going to be so important to be AI first in whatever it is that you do, because what I think artificial intelligence is very good at knowing the black and white of knowledge that's out there.
