This unique, hands-on program engages students in the roles of workers and consumers in a series of classroom lessons that culminates in a visit to the fully-interactive simulated town in Nashville. Students learn entrepreneurial and personal finance skills while they work and shop in their own vibrant community. Through this experiential learning process, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in our global economy.
