It will discuss how educators and students responded to the pandemic and racial unrest by developing cause-oriented businesses\/side hustles.  The presentation will focus on an entrepreneurial mindset and leadership development program based on design Connected Learning principles and the Arts and Business Council\u2019s Creative Exchange program.","Description":"Asset mapping is a powerful tool that can be used to empower, reveal strengths and uncover solutions. Our conversation will explore the difference between deficit-based education versus asset-based education. And provide models of asset-based programs that allow students to discover cultural, social, and economic solutions that can be applied to other areas of life \u2014 specifically small businesses and side hustles.\r\n\r\nThink of it this way, a constant mantra students are fed in school is that they need an education so they can get out of the \u201chood\u201d \u2014 the very communities that nurtured them and prepared them for the world. If these students\u2019 communities are only portrayed to them in this light, then students won\u2019t be encouraged to leverage the resources and tools that already exist in their communities, because they\u2019ll be more concerned with looking elsewhere. The models and conversations will encourage us to look inwards at our communities and take advantage of the resources that we already have. By doing so, we can reach potentials that might not have otherwise been reached.\r\n\r\n The presentation will share sustainable projects that were incubated at  U School\u2019s AFNR program (Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources). This program works to provide examples to students of Green and Sustainable Careers and Side Hustles, as well as provide fresh food and products from our Community garden to support the U School Community Fridge.\r\n\r\nParticipants will learn how to  \r\nCollaborate with other creators to promote sustainable projects\r\nGain funding from institutions and community groups\r\nExplore spaces\/institutions where you can develop sustainable classroom projects \r\nLook for resources in your community","Link":["http:\/\/www.uschool.org\/","https:\/\/www.sriiiconsulting.org\/"],"Audience":["High School"],"Practice":"The Conversation will provide model asset mapping and be co-led by educators, and students.   \r\n\r\nDesign Thinking and Connected Learning Principles will be anchored throughout the conversations. \r\n\r\nParticipants will be inspired to apply asset mapping for classroom projects or sustainable side hustles.","Presenter":["Samuel A.
