The next generation of BizWorld is available now. 

BizWorldPRO is the next generation, blended-learning toolkit for teaching our project-based entrepreneurship program, BizWorld. This program provides you with a turnkey, fully-guided curriculum and a variety of digital tools to make it easier than ever to bring the entrepreneurship experience to your classroom.

 BizWorldPRO teaches children the basics of entrepreneurship, business, and finance. This project-based learning (PBL) program gives students the opportunity to learn business basics.  Working in teams of six, students start, fund, and run their own companies making products created from simple craft materials. The students go through the entire BizWorld Entrepreneurship Cycle and the program culminates with the Sales Bazaar, an exciting opportunity to engage other students, parents, administrators, and community members. The BizWorld currency, BizBucks, helps students gain financial knowledge as they spend, save, get loans and other financing to support their businesses. During the BizWorldPRO experience, students have multiple opportunities to practice leadership, teamwork, and decision making, while honing their math and communication skills.

I think this business program stood head and shoulders above other programs that I’ve used. Thank you again, for everything. Not only would I be delighted to continue using the BizWorld curriculum in my classroom, but I would wholeheartedly endorse it for any school.
