WELCOME!
In this Challenge, BizWorld and BizMovie graduates get a chance to apply and enhance their business skills while learning to be socially conscious citizens! We challenge classrooms to run successful businesses to turn $100 into $500 of profit to donate to important social causes while empowering other classrooms to do the same.

BizWorld Impact Challenge
Learning to manufacture
Dahlia Heights Elementary started with the basics. They learned to make bracelets using tools that would improve quality and help them go faster. They helped each other figure out the best way to manufacture.
Bracelets Galore!
Some of Mrs. K's entrepreneurs made loom bracelets in all sorts of great colors. Choosing the best color combinations took some judgment and decision making. Figuring out what your customers want isn't always easy, but they stuck with it and worked together. Pretty, right?
Signage makes good marketing
They learned about good marketing and merchandising. Students figured out how to attract customers to their stores. Their bright colors and neat presentation helped!
The Store is Open!
These business owners took time to set up their stores, price their products, and get ready for their sales activities. Preparation was key!
The Principal gets in on the fun
Customers come from everywhere. Even the principal had some gift shopping to do. The sales pitch had to be very good to get her sale. She only likes high quality merchandise - and there was plenty of that.
'Bendy Bandz' Rocks!
Ms. Wright's 'Bendy Bandz' company worked hard, managed their expenses wisely and had strong sales. The team added in a big dose of fun and was happy with what they accomplished.
The team comes together
Nothing beats the feeling of working with your team and doing a great job. Everybody has different strengths and skills to appreciate.
Making the Pitch
The students rehearsed so that when it was time to make their sales pitches to their shoppers, they would be ready. Smiling and positive attitudes helped too!
Busy at work
Ms. Ulrich's students committed to making creative products with buttons. Designing their products took some imagination and lots of creativity. They took their work seriously and came up with lots of great ideas.
All buttoned up
Jewelry, bags, clothing and more. These enterprising students had products to meet your every want and need.
'Beyond Buttons' sells style
The 'Beyond Buttons' company knew that style and variety would be important. Plus, a presentation that sells all the benefits of the product is always best.
Product demonstration
Does anybody need a bookmark ingeniously made with a button and a few other common items? Here's a group who can show you that reading with their bookmarks makes lot of sense!
Highlights from Past Impact Challenges
"It is always good to think of others and ways we can help others. Often we get too focused on our own needs and wants. Children need to realize they are powerful and they can make a difference."
-Sherri, Teacher, Grade 4
"Raising money for a good cause made my students feel special."
-Francie, Teacher, Grade 5
