Plans included choosing a logo and name, and planning money making strategies. At the end of the project, there was a lemonade tasting contest.
The novel “The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies was one of the inspirations for the project. The novel is a story of a brother and sister who attempt to sell the most lemonade over a summer vacation.

Marketing was also a skill they learned.
“Having incentives to keep people coming back can make a business stand out,” said Diego Haynesworth.
