Entrepreneurship

Game Design teaches how rules, mechanics, and thematic elements combine to create engaging interactive experiences. You will analyze four games across different mediums, evaluate play value concepts, explore game terminology, study intellectual property and licensing, modify existing game rules to observe player dynamics, design and write rules for an original game, build and iteratively playtest a prototype, conduct a blind playtest, and interview an industry or educational professional.

Health Care Professions explores the diverse spectrum of medical, nursing, therapy, and diagnostic careers. You will examine the clinical responsibilities, education, and licensing requirements for 12 health care roles across 4 career groups, conduct an informational interview with a healthcare provider at their workplace, analyze medical ethics and the Physician's Oath, study HIPAA patient privacy laws, evaluate recent medical innovations, and volunteer at a community health event.

Inventing guides you through the process of taking an original idea from a sketch to a working model. You will study patent history, analyze intellectual property, and interview someone who holds a patent. Requirement 7 is the core: designing, building, and testing a real prototype to solve an everyday problem you have identified yourself.

American Business covers how companies are built, funded, and held to account — free enterprise, financial statements, capital, insurance, ethics, and the laws that govern the workplace. Requirement 5 asks you to take one real business and trace all five primary areas through it, so pick a company you can actually find information about.
