BizWorld.org provides information for motivating students in new ways
Title
The BizWorld Foundation
Description
BizWorld's mission is to challenge and engage children across the cultural and economic spectrum through experiential learning programs that teach the basics of business, entrepreneurship, and money management and promote teamwork and leadership in the classroom.
In 1993, our founder, venture capitalist Tim Draper, was asked by his eight-year-old daughter to describe what he did at work every day. Excited by the opportunity to explain entrepreneurship and business to a third grader, he used his daughter’s enthusiasm for making friendship bracelets to create a simulation activity in which students learn to start and run their own business.
From initial funding to marketing campaigns and financial statements, the program allowed students to not only understand how business works, but enabled them to experience it first-hand. The need and demand for BizWorld’s hands-on, cross-curricular, project-based approach to learning quickly became apparent.
