JA BizTown Adventures
JA BizTown is a great place to visit, and now, students can experience being a CEO from the comfort of their homes with JA BizTown Adventures!
Through the JA BizTown Adventures, students will enter an exciting virtual business world by assuming five different roles, from CEO to financial expert to an innovator to salesperson to consumer. At the end of the five JA BizTown Adventures, students will have a 360-degree view of how a business works and how money flows through an economy.
These adventures are meant to be enjoyed by students as a self-guided experience at home or in distance learning environments. We recommend students take the adventures in the order below.
