Wisconsin Business World

On Monday, out team was at CESA 1 with over 100 eighth-grade students for a regional MINI Business World.

Students from Butler, Horning, and Saratoga STEM middle schools developed fantastic products like Gamafire, a product that scans books and turns them into video games.

These 8th grade students calculated their annual company budgets, found their target markets, marketing budgets, built prototypes, and presented their business plans like real business leaders.

Thank you to the CESA #1 team for their partnership on this event!

Don't forget: Innovation Competition submissions are due on FRIDAY!

Students in grades 6-12 are invited to create a new product for Kwik Trip Convenience Stores and submit a presentation featuring the product idea and including target market, price point and marketing ideas.

Earlier this month, we had the privilege of presenting an engaging, high impact workshop to more than 600 students at the FBLA Fall State Leadership Conference at the Chula Vista in Wisconsin Dells.

With a goal of enhancing employability skills, students we lead through a Myers Briggs personality assessment to self-identify their personality types and then were asked to practice their networking skills by finding others with their same type. Students left the workshop understanding the importance of knowing your strengths and building a team with others who may see the world with a different lens.

Thanks for having us, Wisconsin Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)!

We had a fantastic time at the BEcoMe IT Conference in Wausau last week, meeting Business Education, Marketing Education, and Information Technology teachers from across the state of Wisconsin.

We were proud to share the mission (and opportunities!) of Wisconsin Business World!
