To encourage entrepreneurial thinking, a two-week challenge was introduced to teenagers that would give them $5 to multiply by starting businesses. With rules promoting legality, ethics, and financial accountability, the participants took up the challenge. The highest earner multiplied the $5 into $135.45, but the significance extended beyond monetary rewards. The experience fostered pride in their achievements, highlighting resourcefulness, determination, and teamwork.
