JA BizTown Experience - SE Texas

Recommended for Grades 4-6

JA BizTown begins with in-class learning and culminates with a day-long visit to a fully interactive, simulated town where students operate the economy of a small city. Each student takes on a role such as CEO, CFO, Marketing Director, Sales Manager and others in order to run their businesses, receive paychecks, make bank transactions and shop. They consider saving/spending choices, risk management & insurance strategies, and make personal, career and business-related decisions.

By the end of the JA BizTown experience, students are able to:

Connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world.
Learn their roles as citizens, workers and consumers in their community and relate those roles to the free enterprise system.
Build money management skills through practical knowledge of economic concepts and banking practices.
Learn the soft skills necessary to run a successful business, undergo a successful job search and gain an understanding of basic business practices and responsibilities.
