Description

My Signature resource, the City Collaborative™ Business Education / Entrepreneurship Project-Based (PBL) learning project is a way to ENGAGE your students and join me in revolutionizing Business Education!

My City Collaborative™ Business Education Project-based Learning project is a perfect activity for your Entrepreneurship, Introduction to Business (Business Essentials) or Marketing class. I also recommend this for a Business Law class with some add-on lessons or for those who purchased my Business Law bundle.

Words can’t express how awesome this product is. Such a valuable, engaging project for the students. They had so much fun creating their business and naming their city. I will do this project year after year. Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing! This has led to great student engagement and conversations. I love this resource and we are constantly looking for new things to add to our little city. The administration loves it and I even submitted an article to our state CTE newsletter and we made it in. Thanks for a great resource… well all of your resources are GREAT!

A review I received from a business teacher at one of my business education conferences where I spoke, ‘”Using Denise Leigh’s City Collaborative is an incredible way to get students engaged in active learning! Not only are they diving into real-world problem-solving, but they’re also hands-on designing their own city and creating businesses from the ground up. It’s interactive, creative, and gives them a taste of what it’s like to shape the future. Plus, they develop essential skills like teamwork, entrepreneurship, and innovation—all while having a blast! It’s education with a whole new level of energy!” -Clint, Iowa
