    Here are some photos of some 'BizKids' who participated in an event at the Haas Business School during Entrepreneurship Week. The students were part of a larger panel that included NFTE students and they spoke on their business experiences. This was just one part of the evening. Earlier, there was a 'Trailblazers' panel which included Venture Capitalist Tim Draper, as well as Richard Caruso,PhD, Founder of The Uncommon Individual and Jerome Engel, ED of the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Haas Business School. It was an informative and lively event and the students really shone!

EntrepreneurshipWeek Summary

Entrepreneurship Week was extrememly busy and productive. 

We are pleased with the participation nationwide in the first annual EW.  The Trailblazers event at UCBerkely was amazing with Tim Draper speaking and inspiring students who attended. There was a great turnout with Richard Caruso, PhD and Jemome Engel from the Haas Business School participating on the panel.  It was followed by a panel fo NFTE and BizWorld kids who discussed their experiences which ranged from their first exposure to business and its concepts to high schoolers and first year college students discussing their first business attempts.  The students were incredibly savvy! (Check out group photo of student participants)

BizWorld classes were conducted all around the USA and there was a Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce Meeting in which BizWorld students performed their commercials to rave reviews!

We are holding a drawing for a class pizza party for those who engaged in the BizWorld programs during Entrepreneurship Week, so contact us with your school info if you want to be included. 

Please see the attached photos from a couple of EntrepreneurshipWeek Events.
