Marketing and Sales
This project-based learning (PBL) program gives children the opportunity to learn first hand how to start and operate their own business. Working in teams of six, students start, fund, and run their own company in the friendship bracelet industry.
​
The decisions that the companies make are entirely student-driven. The students decide everything from what to name their company to how many products to make and how much to charge for them! The program culminates with the Sales Bazaar, an exciting opportunity for students to engage other students at the school. During the Sales Bazaar, students sell their products (friendship bracelets) to their customers (no real money is involved. Students use the BizWorld monetary denomination, BizBucks). Throughout BizWorld, students have multiple opportunities to practice leadership skills and hone their math and communication skills.

The Story of BizWorld
The BizWorld founder, venture capitalist Tim Draper from the US, was asked by this eight-year-old daughter to describe what he did at work every day. Excited by the opportunity to explain entrepreneurship business to a third grader, he used his daughter's enthusiasm for making a friendship bracelet to create a project-based program in which students learn to start and run a business.
The need and demand for BizWorld's hands-on, interdisciplinary approach to learning quickly became apparent. The BizWorld Foundation was established in 1997 to make BizWorld programs available to all children around the world.
Being the exclusive partner of BizWorld, Kids Biz Academy allows children in Hong Kong, without needing to travel to Silicon Valley, to understand the real world and discover more about themselves through the experiential entrepreneurship programs.
