JA BizTown and Junior Achievement work to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, understand business and economics, and be workforce ready.

Description:
JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to JA BizTown. This is a fully interactive, true-to-life, simulated town experience where students learn the fundamental relationship between academics and life beyond school.

Located in Owings Mills, Maryland, Junior Achievement’s BizTown is an interactive 10,000 sq.-ft. miniature town designed to reflect the growing importance of "real world" technology and communications. Through the authentic learning experience, students learn first-hand what it takes to create a business, produce a newspaper, supervise employees, and hold elected offices, as well as personally earn and manage money. All lessons are correlated to the Maryland Voluntary Standards.
