BizWorld.org offers four hands-on, engaging programs that teach students and young entrepreneurs the skills they need for a successful future.
All of our programs teach valuable lessons about entrepreneurship, business, and financial responsibility while emphasizing the importance of valuable skills like collaboration, critical thinking, leadership, and creativity.
Did you know that BizWorld’s five different programs, are all designed to build off of each other? We call this the BizWorld Trajectory!
From elementary school classrooms to young adult entrepreneurs, our innovative programs build confidence, creativity, and real-world business skills at every stage of the journey.
Our flagship entrepreneurship program where students launch and run their own companies through an engaging, project-based business simulation. Blending entrepreneurship, financial literacy, STEAM, and social-emotional learning, the flexible curriculum builds leadership, teamwork, communication, and other durable skills in classrooms and expanded learning environments.
Building on the entrepreneurial and business skills developed in BizWorld+—or as a powerful standalone learning experience—id8 is a challenge-based, STEAM-focused entrepreneurship program where students become innovators. Working in startup teams, they tackle real-world challenges through design thinking, app prototyping, and pitching to develop creative, market-driven solutions.
Moving from simulation to the real-world marketplace, Impact Challenge gives students the opportunity to create, market, and sell products for real currency. Through purpose-driven ventures, they generate profits and donate the proceeds to a cause they choose, discovering how entrepreneurship can create positive social impact.
Built for direct-to-learner access, Compass is a self-paced, online experience which guides young entrepreneurs 16-22 to discover their strengths, develop a business idea and create a confident video pitch—all on their own schedule. Compass builds essential skills like goal setting, time management, creative problem-solving, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
Designed for young innovators ages 16–22, Innovation Sprint is a fast-paced, two-day innovation experience where participants work in teams to tackle real-world challenges and develop innovative business solutions with guidance from experienced mentors. Through design thinking, rapid prototyping, and entrepreneurial problem-solving, they build the durable, human-centered skills—including creativity, communication, collaboration, adaptability, leadership, and critical thinking—that power innovation and prepare them for the future of work. The experience culminates in a live Power Pitch competition.
Young Entrepreneur Success (YES!) is a free, 10-week online accelerator for young entrepreneurs ages 16–22. Participants build, launch or scale real businesses through weekly live workshops, self-paced curriculum, dedicated one-on-one mentorship, and expert coaching, with opportunities to pitch for seed funding. To date, YES! alumni have generated more than $1 million in revenue.
