Videos
On February 19, 2016 from 1:30-3:30 we will be hosting a 2-hour Biz Kid$ TV Series event. It will be held at the Marathon County Public Library (MCPL), but the event is not sponsored in any way by the MCPL. If you missed this event, you can find the Biz Kid$ resources online at www.bizkids.com. Some clips are showing in part on YouTube, and the whole series is available to watch in your home through Amazon Prime. The two episodes we will focus on are: “Introducing Entrepreneurs” and “Crash Course in Starting a Business”.
Websites and Books
www.kidpreneurs.org – the website that goes along with the book “Kidpreneurs: Young Entrepreneurs with Big Ideas” by Adam and Matthew Toren. Has great short videos, a free book offer and a blog with kids who have developed businesses.
