The BizWorld Foundation, in conjunction with the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) and Kerpoof, is proud to announce BizMovie, the recent creation of an integrated business, entrepreneurship, and computer-animated movie production curriculum.

This real-world simulation reinforces academic content and standards while infusing core 21st Century Skills through the discovery of business basics, venture initiatives, money management, and computer programming.

BizMovie Program Overview:
BizMovie, designed to resonate with 3rd-8th grade audiences, is the latest program from The BizWorld Foundation and focuses on similar concepts to BizWorld, but with the twist of utilizing technology and entrepreneurship to create animated movie production businesses.
