This is a PowerPoint I made for a class assignment. We were told to create our own business (within a group). Each group member came up with their own idea and then one idea was selected. My group decided to go with my idea of creating a fitness camp for youth based around zombie survival training. I was tasked with making the PowerPoint, and this was the end result. I'd like to note that this is also the first PP I ever made, so I know it's nothing spectacular, but I think it's pretty good for my first try.
