Inspire teens to start their own real business while reinforcing and teaching computer application skills!

The Teen Entrepreneur is a new, comprehensive real-world simulation that teaches students how to create a comprehensive business plan (students choose their own business) and reinforces computer application skills through entrepreneurship concepts.

The simulation integrates all of the Microsoft Office^Ž software applications by requiring students to start a real teen-based business. Students use Word^Ž, Excel^Ž, Access^Ž, Publisher^Ž, PowerPoint^Ž, and FrontPage^Ž (optional) to develop the worksheets and documents necessary for their teen-based business.

Completion time:
The simulation takes approximately 23-28 clock hours to complete.

Word^Ž (to key documents)
Publisher^Ž (to create a business card, advertisement, and brochure)
Note: Publisher^Ž portion can be substituted using any desktop publishing software
Excel^Ž (to create financial statements)
Access^Ž (to create a customer database)
