OBJECTIVES:
Making and flying kites was a popular hobby in the late
1800's. As a youngster, Orville decided he
wanted to sell kites. Wilbur explained to Orville, he
would have to make his kites different and grander than anyone
else's. Otherwise, people could make the same
kite themselves and they wouldn't need to purchase one
from Orville. Orville did just that!
Wilbur and Orville Wright were young entrepreneurs
(individuals that establish and manage a business) and
earned money on their own.
Even as boys they developed skills that would help them later in
life as businessmen.
In this lesson, students develop
a plan to manufacture kites for a profit.
