Entrepreneur Hub
Ever wonder what it’s like to start your own business? At the Entrepreneur Hub, citizens get to find out! They research and choose a need to fill, learn about BizTown and its citizens’ wants, research product costs, and create a new prototype! But that’s not all- these young entrepreneurs will create a product pitch for the JA Staff and learn how to talk about their exciting new business to others. At the end of the day, the products they make are raffled off to lucky citizens who invested in the JA BizTown Entrepreneur Hub!
