Episode 10: The Great Empanada Bake Off
It’s a dilemma familiar to many high school students: Tomás and his friends want to go on a school trip, but they need a way to raise money for it. With absolutely no knowledge of how to make empanadas, will Tomás and his classmates be able to use their entrepreneurial spirit to pull off an empanada bake sale, or will their school trip remain an unattainable dream?
