Ted Talks and a Young Entrepreneur

Published at age 9.  Adora Svitak is her name, empowering youth is her game.

Adora's Ted Talk became the focus of a lesson that asked, "Is entrepreneurship right for me?"  The lesson began with the introduction of eight characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.  To reinforce these eight items, students analyzed Adora's Ted Talk to identify the characteristics this young author displayed during her presentation.

Students were amazed by this young girl's success and left understanding that regardless of age, anyone has the potential to be a successful entrepreneur.
