Michalitsa's Top TechnoKids Pick - TechnoEntrepreneur

This month’s TechnoKids top pick is from Michalitsa Papasotiriou. Michalitsa Papasotiriou is the Head of Educational Projects at TechnoKids Greece. Michalitsa’s favorite technology project is TechnoEntrepreneur. In TechnoEntrepreneur, middle school students launch a restaurant venture. While learning about entrepreneurship, they develop their business concept, raise seed money, track earnings, and promote the opportunity to others.


What makes TechnoEntrepreneur, Michalitsa’s favorite project is that the activities help kids to develop business skills from a young age which prepares them for real-life. She also likes that the project integrates the use of Microsoft Office into learning. The tasks, give students the opportunity to learn about Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Michalitsa states, “Besides the valuable technology skills that students acquire, they learn financial literacy and how to have better critical thinking.”
Launch a Restaurant Venture

When asked to choose the activity she likes the most in TechnoEntrepreneur, Michalitsa picked the design of the restaurant floor plan. She says, “My favorite part is when students have to undertake the role of an architect and create the floor plan of their restaurant. That’s the time where the real fun begins. The students put all their creativity together and choose the colors and the textures of their restaurant. That gives them a true and authentic experience. They feel like they are going to open an actual restaurant!”
