I ran a lemonade stand at the end of my street to help raise money and awareness on book bannings that have been happening in the US. I have read and liked many of the books that are being challenged and I think that the reasons of why they are being banned are unfair and wrong.

Science

• The child learned about the concept of entrepreneurship by running a lemonade stand and raising money.
• They gained knowledge about supply and demand as they determined the quantity of lemonade to make based on customer demand.
• Through their activity, the child learned about marketing and advertising by promoting their lemonade stand to raise awareness about book bannings.
• They also acquired practical skills in measuring and mixing ingredients to make the lemonade.

Continuing to develop their understanding of entrepreneurship, the child can explore other creative ways to raise awareness and funds for causes they believe in. They could consider organizing other fundraising events, such as bake sales or charity runs, and use social media platforms to spread their message and reach a wider audience.
