Teachers

• Find out why using the Incubator, a teacher-created resource, can make it enjoyable to teach any subject and offer maximal educational value with minimal effort and preparation.

Simple

• No training is required to use the Incubator. After reading the one-page T-pack, Teachers can literally photocopy the 6-page P-Pack (participant), pop in the DVD and start. Students will know what to do.

Adapts to any school subject

• Choose the focus of the projects and give your students the opportunity to discover ways they can take your subject area outside of the class through concrete projects.

Student-centred

• Participants are immediately engaged in this workshop. Students spend most of the time discussing, sharing, brainstorming and presenting rather than listening to instructions. You get to watch, interact, motivate and guide rather than do everything yourself.

Entertaining

• The DVD is fast-paced and uses lively images and music that have the feel of a music TV program rather than a workshop. Dynamic hosts guide students through the workshop with straightforward instructions that get the job done!

Builds Self-esteem

• The Incubator process allows students to discover, identify and share their strengths and abilities.

Entrepreneurial Immersion

• Students learn about entrepreneurship first hand by experiencing the inevitable and invaluable lessons obtained from failure and success.

• If you are here, your students have probably gone through the Incubator project-launching workshop and are ready to launch their projects.
• We have compiled a great list of resources including professionals, organizations, web links, and downloadable documents that can assist you in taking your students to the next level of project development.
