Toys by Teens, LLC was formed by the not-for-profit group Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp to create a real-working business model to teach students about entrepreneurship. Dr. Howard Wexler, inventor of the game Connect Four, donated a new invention to the project for the students to launch into the marketplace. The eventual revenue earned from sales will be used to offer this free program to new teams of students.

Day 6
Our new curtains!
Today, Emily, an accountant and friend of Teen Entrepreneur Bootcamp, visited us and helped us get an estimate for our day to day costs, as well as any and all start up costs. Her advice was much appreciated and we were very suprised and grateful when she offered to contact her brother, a graffiti artist, and ask him if he would contribute to our cause.
Today was mostly a day of great news. A few days ago, we bought large sheets of black and blue cloth that today we made into curtains (see above). These curtains are going to work as barriers when the coffee shop is open. We placed all of our orders today, including paper goods, which Omari managed to negotiate the price down nearly $70. off the paper good order. Also, we made the drink menu and managed, thanks largely to Shireen and Michael, to put our logo on the window of our coffee shop.

P.S. This is our teacher/mentor/designer/counselor/everything! Shireen and Michael who came out to help!
