Martinez said the 40 hours are divided among the group to 17 hours each. The team dedicated the 40 hours toward The Children's Museum of the Brazos Valley annual Fall Fest.
"There was face painting, arts and crafts, a bouncer and many other activities for the kids. It was an all out ordeal that had a great turn out," Martinez said.
Anderson said in addition to the assistance the students are providing to non-profit organizations, they are improving business skills.
"It is a business simulation project. We have to be able to work together, take orders and raise money all as a team," Anderson said.
Samantha Mora, a sophomore business major, said the professor helps teach real business skills.
"We have to raise this $1000 using business-type knowledge to get through each week. By writing memos, doing charts and working together as a team we are accomplishing something that cannot be accomplished by just one person."
