Miss Harris's ACE 3 class created their own shoes at the end of their economics unit. They learned about economics principles such as how needs, wants, supply, and demand impact business and daily life. They had to create their shoes within a certain budget and decide on how much to sell them for in order to make a profit. The students were able to add special features like wheels and lights. These shoes are on display in the school's showcase.
