We do community building, educational workshops and events all the time, but this is something we’ve never offered before, that we don’t have the capability to offer, so the fact that someone else was going to come in, transform our space, and give our students a chance to do something we aren’t able to provide them, why wouldn’t we want to do this.

The more we can play with these concepts of running a business and what's involved then the more it spurs that entrepreneurial motivation because we have prepared young minds for what is coming their way. We love Venture Valley because it is a way to add that part that we know we need [in invention education] without having to create it ourselves because you have done such a good job, so we just need to use it.

What’s nice about this game is that it teaches some basic business skills that we don’t teach as part of our programs, we sort of apply those business skills as part of a venture or project. We don’t teach the basics, and that’s what they are applying in the game. Cogs, revenue, the impact of employees and marketing on sales, that doesn’t come up when you’re talking about their specific venture but here they can try out all those different dynamics and see how they impact each other.
