For those interested in the symbolism of our logo, hope you enjoy this video. It also gives an overview of what we do.
Don’t forget to RSVP your teens for one of our eight Teen Entrepreneur events at Greensboro Public Library branches for their chance at $300 and other prizes for launching their own startup. Click here for details.
We are excited to announce the follow up to our successful Economic Literacy Summer Series at Greensboro Public Library with the Teen Entrepreneur Fall Series sponsored by Summit Credit Union.
This series is different in two big ways:
1) Each Teen Entrepreneur event consists of our Pitch Drill and Cashless Incubator games held back to back per event to help players learn in a fun environment the basics of developing a business plan, presenting it, developing product ideas, market testing those ideas, and how to trade their skills for resources with little or no money.
2) After completing a Teen Entrepreneur event, players have the opportunity to submit their own teen business idea to compete with seven others at our November 18th PitchPocalypse contest with $300 going to the winning startup along with great prizes for 2nd and 3rd place winners. Details provided on the entry form available to players of our Teen Entrepreneur Events.
We’ll be going into more detail as these events approach. In the mean time, please help spread the word about this great series coming to the Greensboro Public Library. Here are the events dates:
