The Cashless Incubator is a skills for resources trading game. It also teaches about contracts, market testing ideas, and investing.
The Cashless Incubator is one of the two games along with Pitch Drill that will be played at our upcoming Teen Entrepreneur Fall Series events starting Tuesday, October 7th at Greensboro Public Library branches sponsored by Summit Credit Union.
Thanks to all the branches of the Greensboro Public Library along with sponsor Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit for making the Economic Literacy Summer Series possible. Not to mention all the volunteers and participants. We’ll be announcing a similar event in the fall, but in the meantime, check out pictures from this June 7th to August 5th summer program:
Great event at Vance Chavis Library sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union as both Pitch Drill and the new Cashless Incubator game were played. Big thanks to the participants which included 6 players who came out again after playing Economy, Jr. and this was the 3rd ReBuildUp event for one of those 6.
We got wrapped up in beta testing the new Cashless Incubator game and only managed to get in one picture of the action for the entire event:
Learning how to fill out a skills for resources contract
The Economic Literacy Summer Series sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union has part two of ReBuildUp’s Jobs Course at Vance Chavis Library with Pitch Drill on Thursday, July 31st 6:00-7:30pm FREE for area teens.
We’ll also beta test the new Cashless Incubator game for participants after playing Pitch Drill. The Cashless Incubator is a hybrid of Economy, Jr. and Pitch Drill where players use contracts to trade their skills for resources they’ll use when coming up with a product to pitch to the other players in a :30 seconds commercial.
The top three winners with get a full :60 seconds to make an investment pitch to the other players. The winner is determined by who gets the most funding and we also spotlight the biggest investor. The goal is to show players how to market test their product ideas with little money.
Come on out and see both these games for yourself:
