Through many of our converstions with teachers about how and when to use the BizWorld programs...a suggestion about inserting the program into the school year that has worked successfully for many is during testing. Essentially, we have been told that to have one or two conversations about business the week preceeding testing and then in the afternoons, after testing is completed, both BizWorld and BizWiz are the perfect ways to engage students.
Preparing for Entrepreneurship Week
- In anticipation if Entrepreneurship Week, we have been working with teachers and students to prepare classes around the country to participate in the BizWorld program.
Entrepreneurship Week with the Salt Lake COC
- As part of the EntrepreneurshipWeek initiative...some BizWorld students were invited to have breakfast with the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. The students were nervous, but they performed their commercials, developed as part of their marketing plan., to the delight of the COC.
BizWorld in the Netherlands!
- These are pictures taken of students using the BizWorld program in the Netherlands.
BizKids at Haas Business School
- 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!

- Did you teach BizWorld during Entrepreneurship Week 2007?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely try teaching BizWorld during testing next year. I currently implement BizWorld the last week of school and it is too rushed...
