Contestant's Case to Win

Biz in a Boxx was conceived in 2008 when I became frustrated with my then 12-year-old daughter's poor performance in school. She wasn't turning in her homework and I needed something to teach her how to held accountable to her work. Entrepreneurship seemed to be the answer, plus I knew she would learn valuable, life-long skill sets that weren't being provided to her in school.

She wasn't the entrepreneurial type at all, but she quickly learned. Two years later, she runs three businesses, earns her own money and sees a world of opportunity. Best of all, she's an honor roll student and already has plans for college.

Kids all across the country are using Biz in a Boxx and learning how to turn their ideas into something real. Experiencing a world of entrepreneurship as a kid is advantageous, whether they become employers or employees as adults. And as a community, we all benefit from their ideas.

Support your local lemonade stands. These kids are the next generation of entrepreneurs.
