Pet Spa

(Google Applications Grades: 3-5)

In the Pet Spa course, cute pets are key as students create artifacts and learn basic skills with Google Workspace applications. Using Docs, Drive, Drawings, Sheets, and Slides, students develop a vision for their own Pet Spa business. Elementary students in Grades 3-5 create artifacts and learn basic skills and terminology related to technology and introductory business ideas. Pet Spa is a fantastic introduction for students to learn transferable skills and is the perfect precursor to Yeti Academy Snowboard Shop.

Snowboard Shop

(Google Applications: Grades 5-8)

Sadie Shred is opening a snowboard shop called the “Backcountry Yeti” at the Black Diamond Peak ski resort. Students will help her launch a successful business and ride the chute past the competition! Students will learn and use Google Workspace to help Sadie accomplish her tasks. Complete with in-app video guidance.
