JA Youth Entrepreneurship Week: Day 2, Design Thinking
September 15 @ 18:00 - 19:00
Event 2 of the Junior Achievement of Alaska series that is hosted during the whole week for Alaska students, live on Zoom, September 14 to 18, 2026.
Day 2 turns to the problem. Students work through the design thinking process and learn to empathize with the person who has the problem, before proposing anything to solve it.
Good businesses start with a problem somebody actually has. This session teaches you how to find one.
Grades 9 to 12. Free. 15 seats. Register by September 1, 2026.
Students must attend the sessions starting September 14 to compete in the Shark Tank style pitch contest on September 18.
