Testimonials:

What students say about the program.

• “There [were] no worst parts. Everything was amazing, and nothing was boring..”
• “I would have liked it much better if it was longer. It was soooooooo fun I can’t even tell you. I wish we could start all over again and do more entrepreneurship!”
• “[I learned] it’s not that easy but if you try to accomplish something you will be able to do it with the help of your friends and teachers.”
• “Being an entrepreneur would be rewarding when I grow up because I would have my own business, my job would be in my own hands, and I’d have a life full of learning.”

What teachers say about the EA experience:

• “They developed a great appreciation of the obstacles for running their own business and they realized that hard work brings rewards.”
• “It was so great to see kids have an experience that was actualized in an authentic context for them—skills they can use in the real world. The Entrepreneurial Adventure is not an add-on. It’s an ideal way of providing context for existing programs.”
• “It made the overwhelming amount of [curriculum] expectations easier to implement and teach to since it was relevant to the students.”

What business partners say about their experience with the EA Program:

• “It is such a great program conceptually, introducing business at such a young age, teaching kids that business is not about books; it’s an opportunity for real world learning. They’ll be able to take something really important away from this.”
• “My direct experience with the kids was awesome. I was totally surprised, and the teacher was surprised, that the kids could come up with such ideas, where to market them… They were very much in tune. They were very creative.”
• “Success is all about being creative in your approach, and adapting to change and modifying the program to meet the needs of the students, curriculum, and venture goals.”
• “If I can get a class of 10-year olds to listen to what I have to say and work towards consensus, I can get anyone to.”
