In economics class we have to present our business plans and mine is coding classes (probably a summer camp for kids) and I could talk about how the coding classes would encourage kids to not make non-libre software

You could also talk about the business aspect of it. It could be dual-license, service for hire, niche part of a process or simply crowdfunding.

I wouldn't consider being a teacher something similar to business but more like an ONG. I don't mean to disappoint you or anything. I share the sentiment of 'evangelization'. Just, perhaps, share the idea with your teacher beforehand. Plan ahead, another comment mentioned dual-license, that could be an interesting take. Same goes for what many platforms do, which is charging for support (e.g. research for Red Hat Enterprise Linux business model). Good luck!
