Food Truck Entrepreneur

Food Truck Entrepreneur places students in the driver’s seat as they use their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and computer applications skills to start and run their own food truck business.

Using word processing, spreadsheets, desktop publishing, and presentations applications, students work to produce a range of professional documents they’ll need to make their start-up thrive. From creating a mouth-watering menu to designing a mobile app, students will be totally engaged as they learn first-hand how computer applications can be used to run a successful business.
